Abstract
Role of gabapentin in pain treatment will be discussed with an attempt to identify pain symptoms that are likely to be responsive to gabapentin; 2) animal stud- ies of gabapentin on neuropathic pain and other pain behaviors will be evaluated; and 3) possible mecha- nisms of gabapentin actions will be considered in re- lation to mechanisms of neuropathic pain in particu- lar. Finally, clinical issues of gabapentin treatment will be discussed in the context of its role in neuropathic pain relief.Keywords
