Gabapentinoids (gabapentin and pregabalin) are the foundational analgesics used to treat neuropathic pain of PHN, and their usage has grown rapidly in recent years given increasing scrutiny around opioid prescribing. The unmet need, though, remains high, given the challenges with titrating them to an effective dose. Dr Charles Argoff will review what analgesic options exist to optimize gabapentinoids, and the trade-offs that come with different agents. Dr Argoff is Professor of Neurology and Director of the Comprehensive Pain Program at Albany Medical Center in New York. He is an internationally renowned for his work in Pain Management - in research, teaching and patient care, and serves as the President of AAPM (American Academy of Pain Management).
