Severe morning sickness patients get relief from anti-seizure drug

Abstract

In a pilot study involving seven pregnant subjects with hyperemesis gravidarum, it has been found that therapy with gabapentin was associated with mean reductions in nausea and emesis from baseline to days 12-14 of 80% and 94%, respectively.[2] The same study also reports of two congenital defects among the seven exposed infants and concludes that gabapentin may be effective in the treatment of hyperemesis gravidarum.
