Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: RESULTS:
Fasciculation was absent in 20% of Group III patients, and no vigorous fasciculation occurred in this group. Furthermore, the severity of fasciculation in Group III was significantly lower than in the other two groups (P = 0.01). Seventy per cent of patients had no myalgia in Group III, 39.2% in Group II and 37% in Group I (P = 0.007). Severity of myalgia was also significantly lower in Group III compared with the other two groups (P = 0.011). Post-operative creatine kinase levels were significantly higher than their baseline values in Groups I and II (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSION:
