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.

Skeletal muscle relaxants are drugs that relax striated muscles (those that control the skeleton). They are a separate class of drugs from the muscle relaxant drugs used during intubations and surgery to reduce the need for anesthesia.

The best muscle relaxant is the one your doctor prescribes for you. If you are a layperson it is wisest and safest to not try to practice medicine by choosing your prescription based on a list of drugs that are commonly prescribed to others. The muscle relaxer that is best for you is based on a complex and unique set of factors that must be decided by an expert: your doctor.

Prescription muscle relaxers are simply a group of widely different types of drugs with a relaxing or sedative effect on the overall body. In this way they indiscriminately relax muscles over the entire body, as well as reduce tension and spasm in abnormally contracted muscle tissue. They relax and suppress all muscle function even when it is normal; they do not act only to reduce tightness and tension in spastic or irritated muscles. This happens because all muscle relaxers act on the brain by alerting or suppressing the ability to send and receive nerve messages in the body that pass between the brain and spinal cord. By blocking nerve messages that pass through the spinal cord the body is not able to communicate with the brain, and the brain cannot communicate the rest of the body. This wide range of effects includes relaxing all muscles and a general sense of calm, but it can cause many problems that are called side effects. Some side effects are just a nuisance (dry mouth, ear noise) but others can be dangerous (elevated blood pressure, weakening of immune response).

In short, the best muscle relaxant is the one that reduces your muscle tightness or spasm, but causes you the least side effects. Talk to your doctor about this, please.
