Two cases are described of treatment-resistant vulvodynia that responded well to gabapentin. Gabapentin, an anti-epileptic drug, has been used in the treatment of neuropathic pain such as diabetic neuropathy and post-herpetic neuralgia. However, there has been little experience of its use in the relief of symptoms in vulvodynia and we add our observations to the one report of its use in these circumstances that has been published so far.
