Study Summary

This study aims to determine if administration of gabapentin preoperatively followed by a standing postoperative course is effective in reducing and possibly eliminating the use of opioid analgesics following this procedure. As a secondary outcome, it will evaluate the possible improvement in post tonsillectomy pain control with the use of a standing dose of gabapentin.

Primary Outcome

The primary outcome variable will be the total opioid equivalent dose recorded over two weeks. The proposed study will test the null hypothesis that the two population (gabapentin and placebo) means are equal. The criterion for significance (alpha) has been set at 0.050. The test is 2-tailed, which means that an effect in either direction will be interpreted.

Interventions

  • DRUG Gabapentin
  • DRUG hydrocodone, acetaminophen and ibuprofen
