55%-72% of patients experienced an improvement with baclofen compared with the 0%-17.4% of patients who were given placebo.
In open-label studies of oral baclofen, spasticity was improved in 70%-87% of patients who had spasticity of spinal origin.3
Improvement in spasms was reported in 75%-96% of all patients.
