“…As is often the case with the introduction of adjuvant drug treatment studies are difficult to compare due to the inherent variability of drug dosage, regimen, and use of adjuvant drugs and length of treatment. A similar study looking at the effects of gabapentin on morphine consumption in burns patients by Cuignet et al (2), although reaching the same overall conclusions as Rimaz et al (1) used a very different dosing regimen; a single dose of 1200mg gabapentin pre-operatively (1) and 2400mg daily from burn day 3-24 and results recorded for 21 days pre and post-surgical debridement (2) respectively. Additionally, in a further case series using gabapentin for acute burn pain Gray et al (3) used regimens as varied as 1000mg four times per day with concurrent oxycodone and 300mg three times per day are described.…”
