Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of gabapentin in patients undergoing rotator cuff repair surgery. The main question it aims to answer is whether gabapentin can improve postoperative pain and sleep quality. Participants in this study will be randomized to either take gabapentin after surgery or a placebo after surgery.


Clinical Trial Description

Perioperative gabapentin use has been established in prior literature to decrease postoperative opioid use; however, all of these studies have evaluated gabapentin given by an anesthesia team in the immediate pre- or intraoperative period. No known literature exists regarding scheduled post-operative oral gabapentin use in regards to pain control and opioid use. Sleep quality still tends to be a frequent concern associated with rotator cuff injury and shoulder surgery in general. The added known benefit of somnolence or drowsiness, in addition to aid in sleep, with use of gabapentin may also contribute to improved sleep quality following rotator cuff repair. ;
