Background and objectives: Arthralgia, myalgia, and neuropathic pain are the most common side effects observed due to paclitaxel chemotherapy. The aim of this study was to investigate the prophylactic role, maintenance, remission, and re-occurrence of arthralgia, myalgia, and neuropathic pain post-gabapentin therapy. Methodology: This study was conducted in the Department of Oncology, Dhiraj Hospital, Vadodara with a sample of 51 patients. Newly detected cancer patients who observed arthralgia, myalgia, and neuropathic pain due to paclitaxel were taken and a baseline pain assessment was done using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) and painDETECT questionnaire. Gabapentin was given in the first cycle after symptoms appeared and prophylactic treatment was given in the subsequent three cycles and evaluation of pain was done post-gabapentin therapy to assess the symptomatic as well as prophylactic effect. Results: At baseline, neuropathic pain score was 22.7 ± 3.6 which reduced to 0.01 ± 0.14 on subsequent follow-ups. Grade 2 arthralgia, myalgia, and neuropathic pain were more observed at baseline which reduces to Grade 0 in the third cycle. The difference in baseline and post-gabapentin therapy was statistically analyzed by conducting t -test which showed p -value <0.00001 and t -value was less than −2 which indicated a statistically significant result. Conclusion: This study shows that gabapentin reduces neuropathic pain. Prophylactic usage of gabapentin was highly effective at bringing about quick pain relief when compared to symptomatic treatment. In further follow-ups, it was noted that gabapentin maintained the impact throughout the cycles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
