Abstract
Spasticity and its related symptoms, such as muscle stiffness, spasms and pain, are present in 60% of multiple sclerosis patients. We present the case of a 66-year-old woman with a benign form of primary progressive multiple sclerosis who had symptoms of spasticity, leg weakness and pain at disease onset. After 10 years of disease and insufficient response to antispastic and pain drugs, she was started on nabiximols oromucosal spray with good efficacy, safety and tolerability. The patient is now treated with 4 puffs per day and, after 6 years, the drug is still effective in relieving pain and improving sleep.
