New approach aims to help chronic pain patients cut opioids after surgery
NCT ID NCT06027099
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 29 times
Summary
This study tests whether combining counseling with a muscle relaxant (tizanidine) can help people who have used opioids for a long time reduce their painkiller use after elective surgery. About 375 adults aged 18–75 will be randomly assigned to receive the combined treatment, counseling plus a placebo, or standard care. The goal is to see if the intervention helps them return to their pre-surgery opioid level faster and lowers the risk of opioid misuse.
