How effective is gabapentin (neurontin) for treating complex regional pain syndrome (crps)?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
CRPS meds: Gabapentin and Lyrica (pregabalin) are the most widely used AEDs for treating CRPS. Another commonly used adrenergic drug is clonidine, which stimulates alpha 2 receptors and inhibits the release of NE.
