Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine whether gabapentin is safe and effective in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).
Detailed Description:
A variety of treatment options exist at present for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) with no universal agreement. Recent reports suggested that untreated CTS might improve or remain stationary. In this respect, treatment directing towards symptom suppression alone may have a role in the initial management of CTS. Gabapentin (1-\[aminomethyl\]-cyclohexaneacetic acid; Neurontin, Pfizer) is an effective drug for treatment of neuropathic pain and has been reported to be effective in case series for the treatment of CTS with relatively benign side effects profile. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of gabapentin in the treatment of CTS.
