{"title":"Prescribing Patterns and Off-Label Use of Gabapentinoid Agents at Dhulikhel Hospital, Nepal: A Cross-Sectional Study.","authors":"Sumana Adhikari, Durga Bista, Rohit Shrestha, David Woods","doi":"10.2147/JPR.S493542","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2147/JPR.S493542","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Purpose: </strong>Gabapentinoids are mainly prescribed for neuropathic pain and certain seizure disorders, but their off-label use has increased significantly. This rise raises concerns about the insufficient evidence supporting some applications, as well as potential risks of misuse, dependence, and adverse effects. The study aims to examine the prescribing patterns and off-label use of gabapentinoids at Dhulikhel Hospital (DH), Nepal, focusing on understanding the extent of off-label practices and patient knowledge regarding their medications.</p><p><strong>Patients and methods: </strong>A cross-sectional survey of 385 adult patients prescribed gabapentinoids was conducted at the outpatient pharmacy of DH. Data were collected via patient interviews and prescriptions. Off-label use was assessed according to the licensed indications of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the UK British National Formulary (BNF). Statistical analysis was performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 26.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Among patients prescribed gabapentinoids, 73.0% received gabapentin while 27.0% were prescribed pregabalin. Most patients were middle-aged females with comorbid conditions, primarily orthopedic outpatients. Off-label use was prevalent, with 96.1% of prescriptions being off-label by FDA indications and 28.1% by BNF indications. Pregabalin was prescribed at a sub-therapeutic dose (75 mg/day) for neuropathic pain.

This emphasizes the need for stricter prescribing guidelines, improved healthcare provider education, and better patient information to optimize the use and minimize risks. The frequent prescription of low-dose pregabalin for neuropathic pain raises the possibility that it may be used for night-time sedation rather than for pain management, indicating the need for further investigation.</p>","PeriodicalId":16661,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pain Research","volume":"17 ","pages":"4377-4391"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11663383/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142877438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With chronic pain representing a major health concern and with few non-opioid treatment options available, psychedelics are being explored as alternative treatment modalities. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) now funds psychedelic research, marking a shift from previous decades of limited funding. However, ethical considerations loom large. Vulnerable populations, such as those with chronic pain that impairs their autonomy, require careful consideration by researchers of risks and benefits. Additionally, researchers and interested entities must navigate complex regulatory landscapes involving the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) when considering pursuing possible research. Furthermore, transparent collaboration among stakeholders-patients, researchers, and regulatory bodies-is crucial for participant safety and successful research. Although a number of ethical approaches can be taken, we posit that stakeholders consider utilizing principal-based research ethics, comprised of the principles of autonomy, beneficence, justice, and nonmaleficence, to guide the process.
