Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a single dose of gabapentin, given before
cesarean section, will reduce pain in the initial 24 hours after surgery. Gabapentin has been
very effective at treating pain after knee and hip operations, hysterectomies, and many other
types of surgeries. We believe that it may be effective for treating pain after cesarean
sections, but it has never been studied for this purpose.
