Abstract
Nabiximols has been approved to treat multiple sclerosis-related spasticity symptoms; it also improves symptoms such as pain, urinary dysfunction and sleep disturbance. We report the case of a 43-year-old patient with multiple sclerosis who started add-on treatment with nabiximols for moderate spasticity (self-reported discomfort by the Numeric Rating Scale 6/10); she experienced a remarkable improvement in pre-existing urinary dysfunction. Nabiximols enables treatment of more spasticity-related symptoms, reducing the need for symptomatic medications and avoiding the unnecessary adverse effects produced by polytherapy.
