    AbstractCentral cord syndrome may be associated with severe pain, resistant to conventional pain therapy regimens. Chronic pain may be a persistent problem in rehabilitation of spinal cord injuries. These pain syndromes are long lasting and challenging to treat. Gabapentin has been shown to be useful in treatment of different conditions which may be caused by increased neuronal excitability. This report describes a case where central cord syndrome and its chronic neuropathic pain associated with allodynia was successfully treated with gabapentin.
