| Skeletal muscle relaxants: use in rheumatological diseases |
Muscle relaxants are sometimes used as adjuvants in the treatment of acute low back pain. These drugs include benzodiazepines (eg diazepam) and nonbenzodiazepines (eg baclofen, orphenadrine). Both groups have been found to reduce pain when compared with placebo; however, they are associated with adverse effects including drowsiness, dizziness and nausea. Refer to Benzodiazepines and Baclofen for more information about these medications.
