Trial Outcomes & Findings for Gabapentin Dosages for Postoperative Analgesia Following Open Thoracotomy (NCT NCT05172570)

NCT ID: NCT05172570

Last Updated: 2024-03-21

Results Overview

The pain scores will be collected at incision and chest tube. It will be measured by the study team investigator using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) using a scale of documentation 0-10 for 10 being the worst pain and 0 being no pain.
