Sedation query

[Birker2020]

Bit of a random question I know but can anyone tell me whether sedation by injection has a pain killing effect on a horse in any way?

Thanks

It could help by muscle relaxation.

Some have an anaesthetic effect..

ETA.. That should have been analgesic effect.. not anaesthetic.

It depends on the sedation drug. Any drug in particular?
