Lidocaine pre-treatment for Succinylcholine induced postoperative myalgia and associated factors: Longitudinal study.

Introduction: Postoperative myalgia in surgical patients is mainly caused by the routinely administered depolarizing muscle relaxant, Succinylcholine. There are many proposed strategies but no one were indicated as ideal preventive mechanisms for Succinylcholine induced post-operative myalgia. Even if data were sparse, Lidocaine pretreatment can reduce postoperative myalgia which requires further supportive evidences urging the initiation of this study.
