Do muscle relaxant creams or patches affect nighttime muscle jerks?

The references provided focus on different aspects of muscle relaxants and their uses.

1. Oral Muscle Relaxants: The first reference discusses the efficacy of oral low-dose cyclobenzaprine, which is a muscle relaxant, but does not specifically address creams or patches or their effects on nighttime muscle jerks.

2. Pain Management in Rheumatoid Arthritis: The second reference reviews muscle relaxants used for pain management in rheumatoid arthritis, again focusing on oral medications rather than topical applications like creams or patches.

3. Gabapentin for Muscle Cramps: The third reference explores the use of gabapentin, which is not a muscle relaxant cream or patch, for treating muscle cramps, not specifically nighttime muscle jerks.

Overall, while these studies provide insights into oral muscle relaxants and other treatments for muscle-related issues, they do not provide information on the effectiveness of muscle relaxant creams or patches for nighttime muscle jerks.
