A Double-Blind Randomized Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial of Preoperative Gabapentin Prior to Vaginal Apical Suspension Prolapse Procedures

Joseph Kowalski·interventional·Posted Dec 21, 2022·Updated Aug 12, 2025

In Brief

A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Gabapentin and Gabapentin Placebo for Pelvic Organ Prolapse and Perioperative/Postoperative Complications. Completed, enrolled 110 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

This study will recruit women scheduled to undergo vaginal apical suspension surgery (either uterosacral ligament suspension or sacrospinous ligament fixation) with or without other prolapse or anti-incontinence procedures. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to preoperative gabapentin or preoperative placebo (both patients and investigators will be blinded). Note the control group will receive preoperative acetaminophen/celecoxib/placebo and the treatment group will receive preoperative acetaminophen/celecoxib/gabapentin (preoperative acetaminophen/celecoxib are part of our current ERAS protocol). The primary outcome will be postoperative opioid use in the first 24 hours postoperatively measured in morphine milligram equivalents.
