Baclofen is a medication primarily used to treat muscle spasticity, which is often caused by conditions like multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injuries. It works by acting on the central nervous system to relax muscles and reduce stiffness, helping improve mobility and comfort for patients. In addition to its use for muscle spasticity, baclofen may also be prescribed for other conditions, such as alcohol use disorder, where it can help reduce cravings. It is available in oral form and as an intrathecal pump for more severe cases, allowing for targeted delivery directly to the spinal fluid.
