Abstrakt:	Background: The opioid crisis has become a present concern in the medical field. In an effort to address these complications, antineuropathic pain medications have been considered as alternatives to prescribed opioids. Objective: This review focuses on the analgesic effects of neuromodulators, such as gabapentin, duloxetine, and pregabalin, that provide room for less dependence on narcotic analgesics following orthopedic surgery. Methods: During the database searches, 1,033 records were identified as a preliminary result. After duplicates were removed, an initial screen of each article was completed which identified records to be removed due to absence of a full-text article. Articles were excluded if they were not either prospective or retrospective, showcased an irrelevant medication (such as tricyclic antidepressants) which are not pertinent to this review, or deemed to be unrelated to the topic. Results: Ultimately, 19 articles were selected. Three different drugs, gabapentin, pregabalin, and duloxetine, were analyzed to compile data on the effectiveness of preventing opioid overuse and addiction following hand surgery. This review identifies potential evidence that peri-operative gabapentin, pregabalin, and duloxetine administration decreases post-operative pain and lowers opioid dependency. Conclusion: Gabapentin, pregabalin, and duloxetine have potential to further decrease post-operative pain and lower opioid dependency. This review creates an opening for further research in hand surgery to assess an updated protocol for pain management to reduce opioid dependency. Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflict of interest.
