There are several alternatives to gabapentin for managing neuropathic pain in cancer patients. These include:
Pregabalin (Lyrica): A similar anticonvulsant used for neuropathic pain. Amitriptyline: A tricyclic antidepressant that also has pain-relieving properties. Duloxetine: A serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) used for pain relief. Topical agents like lidocaine patches.
