abstract: The effects of carisoprodol and a placebo were compared in a sample of 60 patients with the clinical diagnosis of myofascial pain-dysfunction syndrome using double-blind design.  Carisoprodol failed to show a significantly greater effect than the placebo.  The side effects were about the same with both agents.
