Summary

This study tests whether extra support, including motivational interviewing and guided opioid tapering, can help people who have been on long-term opioids safely stop or reduce them after spine surgery. Some participants also receive a muscle relaxant (tizanidine) or a placebo. The goal is to help patients return to their pre-surgery opioid levels or lower and avoid opioid misuse.
