Abstract | Background: Materials and Methods: In this study, 67 patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery were randomly divided into two groups (31 placeboes and 36 gabapentin). Patients received two capsules (300 mg gabapentin capsules or placebo) on the night before surgery and again one hour before surgery. After completion of the operation, all patients were transferred to the recovery. Evaluation of postoperative pain was performed using the visual analog scale (VAS) every 30 minutes and then after 2, 4, 6, 10, 24 hours. If patients had pain (VAS above 3), intravenous morphine was injected to relieve pain and the number of injections and the total dose of morphine administered was recorded. Results: There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding VAS, blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR) and saturated oxygen level (SaO2), urea, creatinine, and adverse effects. Conclusion:
