Baclofen is a prescription drug used to treat muscle spasms from multiple sclerosis and Huntington's disease as well as spinal cord injuries and spinal cord diseases.

Medical experts do not recommend baclofen for muscle spasms caused by rheumatoid arthritis, cerebral palsy, Parkinson's disease, or stroke, because research to date does not support such use.

Baclofen is an antispastic muscle relaxant. Researchers don't know exactly how baclofen works; however, in general, it blocks nerve signals from muscles at the level of the spinal cord and it may also depress the central nervous system.
