Here are the 6 most popular medical studies for gabapentin
Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) Analog
Gabapentin Enacarbil for Alzheimer's Disease
Recruiting2 awardsPhase 4
Austin, Texas
This trial is to study whether a sleep disorder, restless legs syndrome, may be a mechanism for nighttime agitation in Alzheimer's patients, and if treatment with gabapentin enacarbil (Horizant®) reduces nighttime agitation, improves sleep, reduces restless legs syndrome behaviors, and reduces antipsychotic medications.
Behavioural Intervention
Gabapentin Enacarbil for Restless Legs Syndrome
Recruiting4 awardsPhase 4
Middleburg Heights, Ohio
This is a phase IV single-blind, placebo run-in fixed dose single-group study to assess objective and subjective effects of GEn on sleep EEG, BP, and anterior tibialis EMG responsivity in patients with RLS. The study will include 8 visits over a period of up to 8 weeks for eligible subjects including a 1 to 3-week Screening/Washout Period, a 1-week placebo run-in period, and a 4-week Treatment Period.The first placebo dose will be administered within 1 to 3 weeks after Screening/Washout. The total duration of the study from the first subject enrolled to the last subject completed will be approximately 1 year.
Nonopioid Analgesia
Celecoxib +4 More for Drug Abuse
Recruiting3 awardsPhase 2 & 3
Detroit, Michigan
This is a randomized, single blinded, standard of care controlled clinical trial. This project aims to compare postoperative pain control in patients in two treatment arms of rotator cuff repair: a treatment group given a nonopioid pain control regimen, and a standard of care control group given standard opioid pain control regimen

Placebo +1 More for Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Recruiting2 awardsPhase 3
Toronto, Ontario
Gabapentin is a medication used primarily to treat seizures and pain. Studies have shown that this medication can help reduce pain after surgery, including hysterectomy, where the uterus or "womb" is removed. Opioids are the first choice for pain medication administered after surgery, but carry significant side effects. Several studies have demonstrated that if patients are given gabapentin before surgery, they require less opioids after surgery. However, there have not been any studies examining gabapentin's effects on post-operative pain in urogynecologic surgery, which treats pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence. Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when female pelvic floor supports have weakened and therefore patients experience a "bulge" or "pressure" in the vagina. Patients with these conditions are typically offered medical treatments, but some may require surgery, and this usually consists of vaginal hysterectomy, pelvic floor repair, and a mid-urethral sling to treat any concurrent urinary incontinence. Our study aims to look at the effect of gabapentin given to patients undergoing urogynecologic surgery on their pain levels after surgery, including the amount of opioid pain medication required. We hypothesize that the patients who receive gabapentin before surgery will require significantly less opioids. Over a six-month period, patients seen in Urogynecology clinics will be invited to participate in the study. Women who are already on gabapentin for other reasons, have an allergy to gabapentin, have a reason they cannot take gabapentin, or who cannot understand spoken English will be excluded from the study. After providing informed consent, they will be randomized to either receive gabapentin or a placebo pill. They will receive the standard surgical care, including the usual anesthesia for surgery and routine pain medications available after surgery. We will then compare the differences in opioid consumption in the first 24 hours after surgery as well as the time from the end of surgery to leaving to the recovery room and the length of recovery room stay between the gabapentin and placebo groups. We will also analyze the differences in anxiety, drowsiness, pain, and nausea as rated by the patients in each group.
Anti-epileptic drug
Gralise for Pain
Recruiting3 awardsPhase 3
Chicago, Illinois
Phantom limb pain (PLP) is a common disorder reported by the patients who undergo amputation. Even though the cause of PLP remains unclear, Gabapentin has been widely used. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy and efficacy achieved in using of extended release Gabapentin. Reducing the incidence of chronic post-amputation pain and improving clinical outcomes postoperatively.

Gabapentin for Oropharyngeal Cancer
Recruiting1 awardPhase 2
Chicago, Illinois
This trial is only available to patients enrolled in the Optima II study who have Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade ≥ 2 oral mucositis. The purpose of the trial is to compare the rates of opioid use at the completion of radiation for patients with or without prophylactic gabapentin as part of best supportive care for locoregionally-advanced, HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer.
Local Anesthetic

Recruiting5 awardsPhase 4
Peoria, Illinois
The General Objective of this study is to investigate the cost and efficacy of treating patients undergoing colorectal surgical resections with an opioid limited pain control regimen as part of an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Protocol. This group will be compared to a traditional opioid based pain control regimen.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need insurance to participate in a trial?
Almost all clinical trials will cover the cost of the 'trial drug' — so no insurance is required for this. For trials where this trial drug is given alongside an already-approved medication, there may be a cost (which your insurance would normally cover).
Is there any support for travel costs?
Many of the teams running clinical trials will cover the cost of transportation to-and-from their care center.
Will I know what medication I am taking?
This depends on the specific study. If you're worried about receiving a placebo, you can actively filter out these trials using our search.
How long do clinical trials last?
Some trials will only require a single visit, while others will continue until your disease returns. It's fairly common for a trial to last somewhere between 1 and 6 months.
Do you verify all the trials on your website?
All of the trials listed on Power have been formally registered with the US Food and Drug Administration. Beyond this, some trials on Power have been formally 'verified' if the team behind the trial has completed an additional level of verification with our team.
How quickly will I hear back from a clinical trial?
Sadly, this response time can take anywhere from 6 hours to 2 weeks. We're working hard to speed up how quickly you hear back — in general, verified trials respond to patients within a few days.
