Rectal administration of baclofen at the end of life
Spasticity can be a complicating symptom of a variety of neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis, motor neuron disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, or post-stroke. Several pharmacological treatment options are available, including baclofen, tizanidine, gabapentin, botulinum toxin A and tetrahydrocannabinol/canabidiol (1, 2). However, treatment feasibility decreases as the end of life approaches, e.g. when patients are no longer able to tolerate oral medications, the onset of action would be too long, or the initiation of parenteral drug therapy (intravenous, intrathecal) is no longer indicated or appropriate.
