Medications to treat spasticity

What medications can be used to treat spasticity?

Baclofen, dantrolene, diazepam, and tizanidine are medications that can be used to control spasticity. Spasticity can be painful and is associated with congenital conditions such as cerebral palsy, as well as acquired conditions including multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, and cerebrovascular accidents. There is no clear evidence that one agent is better than another for an individual person.
