This project aims to compare the effect of preoperative administration of melatonin and
gabapentin in reducing preoperative anxiety, stress markers and postoperative pain levels in
trauma patients undergoing surgery. Gabapentin has analgesic as well as sedative properties.
Melatonin, a hormone has been extensively used in intensive care units and has found to
improve the sleep cycle and reduce pain. It is now being explored as a preoperative
medication.
