Core Tip This systematic review demonstrates the enhanced therapeutic efficacy of combining thiocolchicoside (TCC) with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for pain management, supported by real-world data from 156713 patients. Our analysis revealed that combination therapy provided superior pain relief, improved functional outcomes, and increased patient satisfaction compared to NSAID monotherapy, without a significant rise in adverse events. Notably, patients receiving the combination were significantly more likely to achieve clinically meaningful pain reduction. These findings support the combined use of TCC and NSAIDs in clinical practice, particularly for musculoskeletal and postoperative pain, to optimize patient outcomes and recovery.
