Abstract

Aim: This prospective, multicenter, open-label, noninterventional 12-week study investigated the effectiveness and tolerability of add-on nabiximols oromucosal spray (Sativex®) in the real-world setting in Germany. Patients & methods: The main analysis set comprised 51 adult patients (49 nabiximols responders) with multiple sclerosis (MS) spasticity. Results: The mean overall goal attainment scale score (primary outcome measure) increased by 46% from baseline to week 12 (35.2 vs 51.4; p<0.001). Mean gait speed was improved by 23% at 4 and 12weeks. Clinically meaningful improvements in mean 0-10 numerical rating scale scores for spasticity, pain, sleep quality and urinary bladder dysfunction were recorded at 4 and 12weeks. Conclusion: Nabiximols is a useful therapeutic option for patients with MS spasticity.
