Brief Summary   This single-blind randomized controlled trial will recruit children aged 4-18 with a confirmed diagnosis of Guillain Barre syndrome and neuropathic pain. Forty children will be randomized to receive either oral gabapentin or pregabalin for seven days. We will measure the pain intensity in bilateral legs and back on day 3 and day 7 after starting the study medication and compare the results between both groups.
