Summary
This study aims to determine if administration of gabapentin preoperatively followed by a
standing postoperative course is effective in reducing and possibly eliminating the use of
opioid analgesics following this procedure. As a secondary outcome, it will evaluate the
possible improvement in post tonsillectomy pain control with the use of a standing dose of
gabapentin.
