The pharmacokinetic parameters in the CSF of baclofen given to 4 patients as an intrathecal bolus are reported. Considerable inter-individual variability in the parameters was observed. The elimination half-life ranged from 0.9 to 5 h and the clearance from 0.013 to 0.08 l.h-1. In order to optimize treatment, it is suggested that CSF baclofen levels be matched to changes in Hoffman's monosynaptic reflex (H reflex).
