Could a common muscle relaxant cut opioid use after surgery?

NCT ID NCT06659965

Summary

This study looked at whether giving the muscle relaxant methocarbamol by IV after spine surgery helps control pain and reduces the need for strong opioid painkillers. Researchers tracked the pain levels and medication use of over 1,200 adults for 6 hours after their surgery. The goal was to see if this drug could be a safer part of a pain management plan.
