Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of this study is to compare the possible efficacy of baclofen and gabapentin on postoperative pain in patient with morbid obesity who will undergo laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

DRUGGabapentin
which include 50 patients scheduled for sleeve gastrectomy and will receive 600 mg oral gabapentin 1 h before anesthesia.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| visual analog scale (VAS) score | The first 48 hours after surgery. | During the first 48-h postoperative study period, patients were asked to rate their intensity of pain using visual analog scale (VAS) scores. the score is determined by measuring the distance (mm) on the 10-cm line between the no pain anchor and the patient's mark, providing a range of scores from 0-100. A higher score indicates greater pain intensity. Based on the distribution of pain VAS scores in post-surgical patients (knee replacement, hysterectomy, or laparoscopic myomectomy who described their postoperative pain intensity as none, mild, moderate, or severe, the following cut points on the pain VAS have been recommended: no pain (0-4 mm), mild pain(5-44 mm), moderate pain (45-74 mm), and severe pain (75-100 mm) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| sedation score | The first 48 hours after surgery. | Postoperative sedation scores will be evaluated using the following scale: 0 = awake, 1 = mild sedation, 2 = sleepy but arousable, and 3 = very sleepy. |
