Study Summary
The typical post-operative course for children following surgical removal of their tonsils and adenoids can be challenging, especially for pain control. First line medications for pain include intravenous and enteral narcotics, acetaminophen and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonists but their effects appear to be short-lived. Gabapentin has been shown in adult studies to tone down the body's response to pain and decreases opioid use post-operatively. The purpose of this study is to see if a single preoperative dose will reduce post-operative pain scores and the amount of analgesic used.
Primary Outcome
Total mean oral analgesic requirement (cumulative hydrocodone dose (mg/kg)) at nine time points between 0 and 36 hrs post operatively.
Interventions
- DRUG Gabapentin
- DRUG liquid placebo
