The rapid recovery study: Cyclobenzaprine's effect on recovery following joint arthroplasty

Skeletal muscle relaxants have previously not been examined in multimodal anesthesia regimens following joint arthroplasty. We sought to evaluate cyclobenzaprine's effect on postoperative opioid consumption as well as surgical recovery following joint arthroplasty. In this retrospective cohort...

Description
Summary:Skeletal muscle relaxants have previously not been examined in multimodal anesthesia regimens following joint arthroplasty. We sought to evaluate cyclobenzaprine's effect on postoperative opioid consumption as well as surgical recovery following joint arthroplasty. In this retrospective cohort study, 471 patients undergoing 554 joint arthroplasty procedures were evaluated. Patients were divided into cohorts who did and did not receive cyclobenzaprine postoperatively, and postoperative opioid consumption and functional recovery measures were recorded in each cohort. In the unadjusted model, the cyclobenzaprine cohort experienced a 1.11 increase in pain scores on postoperative day zero (95% CI (0.60, 1.62), p
