Methocarbamol in Treatment of Muscle Cramps in Cirrhotic Patients
Unknown status

Phase 3

Muscle cramps markedly affect the quality of life in cirrhotic patients with no highly
effective drug. Methocarbamol is a central muscle relaxant used to treat skeletal muscle
spasms. The mechanism of action of methocarbamol is currently unknown, but may involve the
inhibition of carbonic anhydrase. Methocarbamol has a high therapeutic index, i.e. a wide
range of safe and effective dosages.
Low back pain is a common cause of visit to emergency department. It is not clear if skeletal
muscle relaxants are of benefit for patients with acute low back pain. This is a randomized
study to determine if skeletal muscle relaxants, when combined with naproxen, improve
outcomes more than naproxen alone
