Comparative evaluation of the effectiveness of the transdermal therapeutic system with fentanil and gabapentine in head pain therapy

Abstract

The study was conducted to comparatively evaluate the effectiveness a transdermal therapeutic system with fentanyl and gabapentin in the treatment of headache in patients with non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. When assessing the intensity of headache in patients, it was found that with severe pain immediately after endovascular occlusion, the use of transdermal fentanyl with dexketoprofen or paracetamol is most acceptable, and the combination of gabapentin with dexketoprofen / paracetamol is better in case of headache in a more delayed period.
