With all of the relatively recent literature on gabapentin for acute pain, we should remember this bit of history. NEJM — Outcome Reporting in Industry-Sponsored Trials of Gabapentin for Off-Label Use.

Ketamine dosing a bit on the low end as the authors point out.  However, no difference in sedation post-operatively!. Also, minimal differences in opioid side-effect profile despite decreased opioid consumption. Wished they would have had a fourth group combining ketamine and gabapentin.

The differences in pain scores were statistically different but of questionable clinical difference. Another study with incremental pain improvements, but importantly reflecting non-incremental changes in perioperative stress response. Also note the higher pain scores despite increased PCEA volume and intra-op opioid use (although, this could increase OR decrease post-op pain depending on your literature purview). A&A via Ovid.

Just a letter to the editor, but a nice dermatomal mapping is attached. Not so sure about the classic approach to the deep cervical plexus; this is a near-root structure. No needle description is give. I would hope it was large and non-sharp, with appropriate aspiration/open-air drain opportunities prior to injection.
