Commonly prescribed drugs for management of neuropathic pain, such as amitriptyline, pregabalin, and gabapentin are preferred at lower doses in Indian clinical settings. Acceptable efficacy and low tolerance to the standard dosage is believed to be the reason behind the prescribed dose. In a clinical study conducted by Chakrabarty and colleagues, the efficacy of pregabalin (150 mg) monotherapy, amitriptyline (25 mg) monotherapy, and low-dose pregabalin (75 mg) plus amitriptyline (10 mg) as combination therapy for reducing NP symptoms was investigated [110]. Comparison of amitriptyline supplemented with pregabalin, pregabalin supplemented with amitriptyline, and duloxetine supplemented with pregabalin for the treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain (OPTION-DM): a multicentre, double-blind, randomised crossover trial So the aim of the study was to evaluate comparative clinical efficacy of pregabaline with amitriptyline and gabapentin in neuropathic cancer pain. Pregabalin outperforms Gabapentine and Amitriptyline in terms of the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) score. Gabapentine has fewer reported side effects, resulting in higher long-term patient compliance. Amitriptyline is less expensive than pregabalin, which is a crucial consideration when treating patients. Gabapentin, pregabalin, and amitriptyline demonstrate similar effectiveness in alleviating neuropathic (NeP) pain. The study concludes that gabapentin is superior to both pregabalin and amitriptyline with fewer adverse effects, leading to improved patient adherence for long-term use. Amitriptyline is in the tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) drug classification and acts by blocking the reuptake of both serotonin and norepinephrine neurotransmitters. Amitriptyline is an FDA-approved medication to treat depression in adults. The non-FDA approved indications are anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, insomnia, chronic pain (diabetic neuropathy, fibromyalgia), irritable bowel This page from Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) explains about medicines used to treat neuropathic pain – pain caused by the nerves sending wrong signals to and from the brain. At GOSH, we mainly use amitriptyline, gabapentin and pregabalin, although o Amitriptyline alleviates painful diabetic neuropathy. It is recommended by a variety of guidelines as a first or second-line treatment. [13] It is as effective for this indication as gabapentin or pregabalin but less well tolerated. [28] Amitriptyline is as effective at relieving pain as duloxetine. Combination treatment of amitriptyline and pregabalin offers additional pain relief for people Gabapentin and pregabalin are similar drugs but differ in several distinct ways. The main differences are their indications—specific uses that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved them to treat—and their dosages. Amitriptyline is used to treat symptoms of depression. Amitriptyline is in a class of medications called tricyclic antidepressants. It works by increasing the amounts of certain natural substances in the brain that are needed to maintain mental balance.

Given that neuropathic pain (and other forms of pain like cancer pain and migraine pain) is difficult to treat, physicians have explored combination therapy, which has shown better efficacy compared to single treatment modalities (Serrano). Offering amitriptyline, duloxetine, gabapentin, or pregabalin NICE found consistent evidence showing that compared with placebo, amitriptyline, duloxetine, gabapentin, and pregabalin are effective at reducing neuropathic pain and are safe and cost-effective. Amitriptyline is a tricyclic antidepressant used to treat depression and, off-label, conditions like insomnia, anxiety, migraines, and chronic pain. Bottom Line: Combination of pregabalin with gabapentin could be a 4th line option in the treatment of neuropathic pain if adequate trials of other guideline-recommended treatment options fail. The main objective is to compare efficacy and safety of pregabalin and amitriptyline monotherapy with their low-dose combination in patients of neuropathic pain (NeuP). In this parallel-group, open-label interventional study at the Neurology Common side effects of Amitriptyline include: drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, weight gain, and trouble urinating Serious side effects of Amitriptyline include: easy bruising, unusual bleeding, persistent heartburn, shaking, mask-like facial expressions, muscle spasms, severe stomach pain, decreased sexual ability or desire, enlarge or painful breasts, black gabapentin, pregabalin, and amitriptyline demonstrated efficacy in alleviating neuropathic pain (NeP). Although Pregabalin exhibits an advantage in terms of a signif
