Sanochemia Pharmazeutika AG, Vienna (ISIN AT0000776307 ISIN DE000A1G7JQ9), announces the publication of a comparative study describing the clinical efficacy and safety of baclofen in comparison to tolperisone by Luo D et al. in “Saudi Pharmaceutical Journal”.

The clinical efficacy and safety of baclofen versus tolperisone in patients with spasticity, caused by a spinal cord injury, were compared. A total of 150 patients were enrolled in the study and divided into two groups, with 75 patients in each group, receiving baclofen or tolperisone for a period of six weeks, respectively.

Both treatment groups demonstrated an improvement in muscle tone, muscle strength and functional outcome. Detailed analysis showed that baclofen was inferior in comparison to tolperisone in terms of efficacy and safety in the treatment of spasticity in patients with a spinal cord injury. The authors concluded that in a long-term treatment, baclofen demonstrated negative effect on muscle tone and strength, while tolperisone showed high efficacy for improvement in daily quality of life. Additionally, patients treated with tolperisone had fewer side effects compared to baclofen.

 "We are pleased that a study, comparing baclofen and tolperisone for the treatment of spasticity after a spinal cord injury, was published. The study results show that tolperisone offers a greater improvement in day-to-day living activities compared to baclofen." says Dr. Christina Abrahamsberg, CSO of Sanochemia Pharmazeutika AG.
