Abstract

Spasticity is a common symptom in patients with multiple sclerosis, and it is associated with fatigue, anxiety, depression, pain and mobility and bladder dysfunction, negatively affecting patient quality of life. During the COVID-19 pandemic, several patients were not able to continue treatment for multiple sclerosis. Here, we present a case of a 45-year-old man who experienced symptoms that worsened after discontinuing nabiximols treatment during the lockdown. Within 2 months of treatment restoration, the patient showed a strong improvement in his overall clinical condition.
