Antiepileptic Drugs for Neuropathic Pain and Fibromyalgia
JAMA 312:182-183, Moore, A.,et al, 2014
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In treating diabetic neuropathy and postherpetic neuralgia compared with placebo, gabapentin and pregabalin are associated with a modest increase in the number of patients experiencing meaningful pain reduction. In treating fibromyalgia, compared with placebo, pregabalin alone is associated with a small increase in the number of patients experiencing meaningful pain reduction. There is insufficient evidence for other antiepileptics.
