Simple muscle relaxant may spare women from catheters after pelvic surgery
NCT ID NCT06258785
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether giving a muscle relaxant called tizanidine before pelvic surgery could help women urinate normally afterward. About 20 women having a specific type of pelvic repair took the drug, and researchers checked if they needed a catheter after surgery. The goal was to see if this low-cost, low-risk medicine could reduce a common and bothersome side effect.
