The treatment of spasticity by intrathecal administration of baclofen: a preliminary personal experience

G Broggi et al. J Neurosurg Sci. 1993 Dec.

Abstract

The administration of baclofen, a GABAb agonist, by direct infusion into the CSF by means of a programmable device, may avoid the undesired side effects of the oral administration of both the same and other antispastic drugs while giving a marked reduction of spasticity. The preliminary results on 12 patients show the total efficacy of this procedure in reducing spasticity markedly.
