Introduction: Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is a chronic autoimmune demyelinating peripheral neuropathy that leads to symmetrical muscular weakness, sensory deficit, hyporeflexia, chronic fatigue, and impaired quality of life (QoL). The current study aims to investigate the effects of gabapentin versus pregabalin on pain, sleep disturbances, and QoL in CIDP patients.
Methods: This clinical trial was conducted on 40 patients diagnosed with CIDP randomly allocated to treatment with 100-500 mg gabapentin (n=20) or 50-300 mg pregabalin (n=20) both co-medicated with 37.
