The purpose of this study is to determine whether a perioperative course of gabapentin in parturients on buprenorphine maintenance would improve analgesia after elective cesarean delivery (CD).
Many strategies have been suggested to improve post-CD pain management in parturients on buprenorphine. While effective pain relief can be achieved, women maintained on buprenorphine during pregnancy have been shown to require up to 50% more opioids after CD compared to women with opioid use disorder not on a maintenance regimen. The perioperative use of gabapentin has been shown to reduce pain scores and opioid consumption following a variety of surgeries, ranging from cardiac bypass to total abdominal hysterectomy. The purpose of this study is to determine whether a perioperative course of gabapentin in parturients on buprenorphine maintenance would improve analgesia after elective CD.
