Baclofen, classified as a skeletal muscle relaxant medication, is used to treat specific types of spasticity, characterized by muscle stiffness and tightness, in individuals with multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, or other spinal cord disorders. This medication operates by acting on the nerves within the spinal cord, decreasing both the frequency and intensity of muscle spasms caused by spinal cord conditions or multiple sclerosis. Baclofen is also known to alleviate pain and enhance muscle mobility.
