Spasticity is common in people with MS and other neurological conditions and can impact negatively on activities of daily living, function and quality of life. It can be managed with anti-spasticity medications, but prescribers often fail to titrate to the optimal dose, monitor or review their efficacy. Optimal doses are not always reached or, worse, may be exceeded. As a result, the primary spasticity may not be controlled adequately or the insidious side-effects of over-dose can cause symptoms such as weakness which mimic disease progression, increase disability, lead to unnecessary secondary complications and hinder therapeutic interventions
