There is interest in the use of methocarbamol as an adjunctive agent for pain control after traumatic injury. The primary objective of this study was to determine the effect of methocarbamol on pain measurements after acute injury. This was a retrospective, matched cohort study conducted at an academic medical center in the United States. Consecutive adult (age ≥18 years) patients who were admitted to the hospital between June 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013 because of a traumatic injury were…

Efficacy of Methocarbamol for Acute Pain Management in Young Adults With Traumatic Rib Fractures
TLDR
Given the risks associated with opioids, use of methocarbamol as an analgesia-optimizing, opioid-sparing multimodal agent may be reasonable.
Methocarbamol use is associated with decreased hospital length of stay in trauma patients with closed rib fractures.
TLDR
The use of methocarbamol after traumatic rib fractures may result in a reduction in the length of hospital stay, and is associated with a greater likelihood of being discharged from the hospital.
Aches and Pain in the Geriatric Trauma Patient
TLDR
The growing population of elderly trauma patients requires thoughtful multimodal pain therapy regimens tailored to injury type and personalized to the patient’s comorbidities to optimize outcomes and prevent complications.
Beyond Opioids for Pain Management in Adult Critically Ill Patients
TLDR
Nonopioid analgesics discussed in detail in this article are acetaminophen, α-2 receptor agonists, gabapentinoids, ketamine, lidocaine, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Methocarbamol blocks muscular Nav1.4 channels and decreases isometric force of mouse muscles
TLDR
The muscle relaxant methocarbamol is widely used for the treatment of muscle spasms and pain syndromes and its influence on neuromuscular transmission, on isometric muscle force, and on voltage‐gated Na+ channels is studied.
Topical Delivery of Methocarbamol Loaded Nanoemulgel - in vitro Characterization
Background: Methocarbamol is used as skeletal muscle relaxant. Nanoemulgel is currently being developed as a transdermal drug delivery technology because to its nanosized droplets, which provide…

Effect of preoperative intravenous methocarbamol and intravenous acetaminophen on opioid use after primary total hip and knee replacement.
TLDR
This study shows significant improvement in patient care from 2008 to 2011 that is at least partially due to the change to the use of preoperative intravenous methocarbamol and intravenous acetaminophen.
The role of methocarbamol and intercostal nerve blocks for pain management in breast augmentation.
TLDR
It is suggested that intercostal nerve blocks do not significantly decrease postoperative pain following breast augmentation, and a preoperative dose of methocarbamol may be of benefit to help diminish early perioperative pain.
Cut and thrust: antecedent surgery and trauma among patients attending a chronic pain clinic
TLDR
It can be unhelpful for pain classification systems to combine surgery and trauma in a single category, and studies are needed to identify the operative procedures associated with the development of pain so that preventive measures can be implemented.
Pain Management in Trauma Patients
TLDR
This review focuses on the treatment of pain in the setting of acute injury and on pain management in trauma patients who go on to develop chronic pain, with emphasis on pharmacologic interventions, invasive and noninvasive pain management techniques, analgesia in challenging patients, and pain control in commonly encountered trauma conditions.
Clinical significance of reported changes in pain severity.
TLDR
The minimum clinically significant change in patient pain severity measured with a 100-mm visual analog scale was 13 mm, and studies of pain experience that report less than a 13-mm change in pain severity, although statistically significant, may have no clinical importance.
ICISS: an international classification of disease-9 based injury severity score.
TLDR
ICISS is a much better predictor of survival than ISS in injured patients and the use of the ICD-9 lexicon may avoid the need for AIS coding, and thus add an economic incentive to the statistical appeal of ICISS.
Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Pain, Agitation, and Delirium in Adult Patients in the Intensive Care Unit
TLDR
These guidelines provide a roadmap for developing integrated, evidence-based, and patient-centered protocols for preventing and treating pain, agitation, and delirium in critically ill patients.
Clinic
TLDR
Of all the operations the dentist performs for his patient, relating to operations in dentistry, there is none in his judgment so important, as carefully and considerately adjusting the rubber dam.

TLDR
Anticonvulsant studies carried out with these drugs indicate that chlorzoxazone possesses potent anti-strychnine activity while having virtually no protective action against pentylenetetrazol and meprobamate, which suggests that chlorZoxazolamine may act principally at spinal levels and meProbamate at supraspinal levels.
