Article Synopsis
- Gabapentin (GBP) is an anti-convulsant medication used to manage neuropathic pain, and this study assessed its effects on nerve inflammation in Wistar rats following sciatic nerve injury.
- GBP treatment resulted in improved pain response and motor function at certain doses, indicating potential benefits in pain management, but also heightened inflammatory markers in the nerves.
- The findings suggest that while GBP can effectively reduce pain, it may simultaneously provoke inflammatory responses, raising concerns about its widespread clinical application.
