A muscle relaxant is a drug which affects skeletal muscle function
and decreases the muscle tone. It may be used to alleviate symptoms such as
muscle spasm and pain, and hyperreflexia. The term "muscle relaxant"
is used to refer to two major therapeutic groups: neuromuscular blockers and
spasmolytics. Neuromuscular blockers act by interfering with transmission at
the neuromuscular end plate and have no CNS activity. They are often used during
surgical procedures and in intensive care and emergency medicine to cause paralysis.
Spasmolytics, also known as "centrally-acting" muscle relaxants, are
used to alleviate musculoskeletal pain and spasms and to reduce spasticity in
a variety of neurological conditions. While both neuromuscular blockers and
spasmolytics are often grouped together as muscle relaxants, the term is commonly
used to refer to spasmolytics only.
Skeletal muscle relaxants may be used for
relief of spasticity in neuromuscular diseases such as multiple sclerosis, as
well as for spinal cord injury and stroke. They may also be used for pain relief
in minor strain injuries and control of the muscle symptoms of tetanus.
