CASE PRESCRIPTION:A 57-year-old man presented to the emergency room of an outpatient facility for a severe head injury. He had been with a chronic alcohol drinker for over 5 years, and he had developed a severe muscle spasm, which was not reversible on discontinuation of alcohol. He had been receiving rehabilitation for 3 years, and he had been in constant pain and discomfort for about 8 years. He had been taking Baclofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, for 4 years, and was experiencing a mild decrease in his muscle spasms, which was not reversible on discontinuation of alcohol. He had been taking Lioresal for 2 years, and he was experiencing a decrease in his muscle spasm in the initial 2 weeks. He had been experiencing a decrease in muscle pain with the use of a muscle relaxer, but he had not reported any adverse side effects. He had been using baclofen at a dose of 200 mg, and the patient had reported that he was having some pain with the use of baclofen. He had also reported that he had been experiencing some dizziness. He had been using a muscle relaxer, and his dizziness had improved upon discontinuation of baclofen. He was admitted to the emergency room, with blood pressure and oxygen saturation levels of 99.0%, and he was diagnosed with mild to moderate hypovolaemia, with no history of hypotension. He was scheduled for hemodiafiltration for hemodialysis, and he was discharged from the hospital on the same day.
In the outpatient clinic, he was observed to have an elevated hemoglobin level of 7.2 g/dL, and he was taking 2.5 mg/day of baclofen. He was also prescribed a low dose of baclofen, and he was seen to have a hemoglobin of 8.0 g/dL, and he was taking 1.5 mg/day of baclofen. He had been taking a higher dose of baclofen for 4 years, and he was experiencing some dizziness upon discontinuation of baclofen. He had been taking Lioresal at a dose of 150 mg, and he had been experiencing a decrease in his muscle spasm in the initial 2 weeks. He had been experiencing a decrease in his muscle pain with the use of a muscle relaxer, and he was experiencing mild to moderate hypovolaemia. He was observed to have a hemoglobin of 8.0 g/dL, and he was taking 2.5 mg/day of baclofen. He was seen to have a hemoglobin of 8.0 g/dL, and he was taking 1.5 mg/day of baclofen. He was observed to have a hemoglobin of 10.0 g/dL, and he was taking 2.5 mg/day of baclofen. He was observed to have a hemoglobin of 6.0 g/dL, and he was on hemodialysis. He was seen to have a hemoglobin of 11.5 g/dL, and he was taking 3.0 mg/day of baclofen. He was also seen to have a hemoglobin of 13.0 g/dL, and he was taking 3.0 mg/day of baclofen. He was seen to have a hemoglobin of 13.0 g/dL, and he was on hemodialysis.Discussion:Baclofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, is widely used in the treatment of neuropathic pain and neuropathic nerve damage in the general population. In addition, it is a widely used non-pharmacologic treatment for muscle spasticity associated with diabetes and cardiovascular disorders. Baclofen has been extensively used in the treatment of spasticity and peripheral neuropathic pain, as well as in the treatment of diabetic neuropathy.
There are a number of factors that should be taken into account when prescribing baclofen. It is not possible to predict the severity or duration of muscle spasticity in patients who have received baclofen therapy. It may be necessary to adjust the dose and frequency of the treatment, as well as to avoid side effects. Baclofen also has some effects on the central nervous system, which can be beneficial in the treatment of neuropathic pain. In addition, the use of baclofen in the treatment of neuropathic pain may cause some complications, such as nervous system depression, and may increase the risk of neurological damage.

Introduction
Baclofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) widely used in the treatment of muscle pain. Although its efficacy is well-established, its use in the management of muscle pain has been controversial and its role is not fully understood. Here, we review the current evidence regarding the efficacy of baclofen in the management of muscle pain and the role of baclofen in the management of muscle spasticity.
Methods
We performed a literature search to identify studies that investigated the efficacy of baclofen in the management of muscle pain and spasticity. We reviewed the full PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and LILACS databases using the key words "baclofen," "muscle pain," "spasticity," and "migraine." We excluded studies with no relevant focus on muscle pain or spasticity. A total of 715 studies were included in our review. Our primary endpoints included the primary outcome, which was defined as the percentage of participants with muscle pain or spasticity after baclofen treatment. Secondary outcomes included the frequency and severity of muscle pain and the frequency and severity of spasticity. Finally, we performed a sensitivity analysis to identify studies with a higher quality than the others. This included studies that used a single-blind protocol to collect data. A total of 12 studies were included, of which six were double-blind studies and three were non-blind studies. A sensitivity analysis was performed for the primary outcome (frequency of muscle pain or spasticity). We used the standardized mean difference (SMD) method to detect the difference in the frequency of muscle pain and spasticity between baclofen and placebo.
Rates of Study Included in our Review
Three studies were excluded due to the lack of adequate follow-up data. One study was a placebo group and was not included in the primary analysis. Two of the studies used a single-blind protocol and was not included in the analysis. Three studies were double-blind trials and were not included in the analysis. The two studies were observational studies and one was case-control studies.
Results
A total of 13 studies were included in our review. Most were observational, with two or more studies being case-control studies. Two of these studies were open-label studies and one was a double-blind study. In the case-control studies, spasticity was defined as the percentage of participants with muscle pain or spasticity after baclofen treatment. In the open-label studies, spasticity was defined as the percentage of participants without muscle pain or spasticity after baclofen treatment. In the case-control studies, spasticity was defined as the percentage of participants with muscle pain or spasticity.
Conclusion
Our review highlights the limitations of this systematic review and the need to conduct further studies to clarify the effectiveness of baclofen in the management of muscle pain and spasticity.
