This medication does not work for everyone and should only be used under the guidance and supervision of a healthcare professional.
This study is to investigate the potential use of baclofen for the treatment of spasticity of voluntary muscles in patients with spasticity of skeletal muscles. The study was performed in a single center, double-blind, randomized, parallel group, crossover design. Eligible patients were recruited from the general population and were given a single dose of baclofen (25, 50, 75, or 100 mg) for 6 weeks. The study was conducted in accordance with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki and Good Clinical Practice guidelines. The patients were randomly assigned to receive baclofen or placebo, with or without food.
After the first week of the study, the patients were assessed by a physician who provided them with a written prescription. The patients were followed up for a period of one year.
The patients were followed up for the next two years (i.e., the second year of the study) after treatment with baclofen and a follow-up of 2 years after treatment with placebo. At this follow-up, the patients were also evaluated for the development of a spasticity of skeletal muscle due to the baclofen therapy. The patients were advised to undergo physical examinations and to adhere to the recommended dosages.
The study was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki and Good Clinical Practice guidelines.
A total of 546 patients with spasticity of skeletal muscle were recruited from five centres (St. George's and St. Vincent's, St. Louis, France; St. Martin and Albert, London, UK; and Wollman, London, UK).
Inclusion criteria were a history of spasticity of skeletal muscle with a spasticity of voluntary muscles that was diagnosed by a physician as spasticity of skeletal muscle that was previously treated with baclofen (Baclofen, 25, 50, 75, or 100 mg) for 6 weeks. Those who were eligible to participate were randomly assigned to receive either the baclofen or placebo dose. Patients were to receive a maximum of one dose of baclofen in 24 hours (maximum of 4 doses per day). The duration of treatment was determined using the duration of the study.
Patients who were diagnosed with spasticity of skeletal muscle that was already treated with baclofen with an additional 12 weeks of baclofen were eligible to participate. Patients who did not meet the inclusion criteria were excluded. Inclusion criteria were a history of spasticity of skeletal muscle that was diagnosed by a physician as spasticity of skeletal muscle that was previously treated with baclofen (Baclofen, 25, 50, 75, or 100 mg) for 6 weeks. Those who were eligible to participate were to receive a maximum of one dose of baclofen in 24 hours (maximum of 4 doses per day).
Patients who were enrolled in the study were enrolled according to the protocol approved by the Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Medicine at the Medical University of Graz. Informed consent was obtained from all participants before the study. Patients were eligible to participate if they were aged ≥ 16 years, had a history of spasticity of skeletal muscle in the neck or of spasm, had a history of muscle-related disability, or had a history of muscle-related disability (including the need for spasticity of skeletal muscle).
Participants who were enrolled in the study were excluded from the study if they were aged ≤ 16 years and were receiving the study drug or a combination of drugs. Patients were also excluded if they had a history of seizures, had a history of muscle-related disability, or had the following characteristics:anorexia nervosaand epilepsy; the following medications: anticoagulants; any antiepileptic medication (antidepressants, antipsychotics, antihistamines, antidepressants, antipsychotics, antipsychotics, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, and hypnotics); or the following medications: anastrozole, citalopram, fenofibrate, glipizide, gabapentin, phenobarbital, methylene blue injection, oxcarbazepine, valproate, or topiramate.
