Summary
This study looked at whether giving a muscle relaxant called methocarbamol through an IV can help control pain and lower the amount of opioid painkillers needed in the first 6 hours after spine surgery. Over 1,200 adults having elective spine surgery took part. Researchers tracked their pain scores and opioid use to see if the drug made a difference.
