Abstract in brief

  • Gabapentinoids are increasingly used in perioperative pain management, but their exact mechanism of action is not fully understood, despite being categorized as calcium channel blockers.
  • They work by reducing dorsal horn sensitivity through multiple pathways, including inhibiting neurotransmitter release, affecting calcium channel subunits, and stimulating glutamate uptake, among other mechanisms.
  • While effective in animal models of inflammation and postoperative pain, the effectiveness of gabapentinoids in human pain models varies, and their role in postoperative pain relief remains somewhat uncertain.]
