Data were expressed as mean ± SD.
#Means that control group was significantly different from both groups ( ).
@Means that gabapentin 800 group was significantly different from gabapentin 1200 group ( ).
*Means significant difference from baseline value ( ).
**Means highly significant difference from baseline value ( ).
