“…Other case reports have suggested that gabapentin (up to 2400 mg) is also effective in reducing postsurgical neuropathy in noncancer patients. 24 The licensed dose for the treatment of neuropathic pain is 1800 mg/d in divided doses. The doses used in our study ranged from 900 mg/d to 1800 mg/d.…”

“…57 Here 10 patients suffering from neuropathic pain of the head and neck, who had failed to respond to other treatments, were given gabapentin, starting at 300 mg three times a day, although 2400 mg were required for pain relief. Baseline and follow-up measurements examined pain intensity and pain quality.…”

Cervical radicular pain affects 83 per 100,000 adults annually. Diagnosis by means of physical examination, imaging, and electrophysiological studies is characterized by high specificity but low sensitivity. In this review, we focus on the role of the dorsal root ganglion and those treatment modalities that aim at pathophysiological mechanisms occurring after injury to the dorsal root ganglion. Cervical nerve injury initiates multiple events that lead to changes in nerve function and result in spontaneous firing at the dorsal root ganglion. Among these, inflammation and changes in ion-channel function play a pivotal role. Although many treatment modalities are described in the literature, the available evidence for efficacy does not allow us to formulate definitive conclusions on the optimal therapy. A lack of evidence is reported for cervical spine surgery. Interlaminar epidural steroid administration and radiofrequency techniques adjacent to the cervical dorsal root ganglion have the highest, but still weak recommendations.
