    Baclofen can slow brain activity (EEG) in neurological patients, especially those with specific conditions or kidney issues. In rare cases, it may trigger seizures, particularly with baclofen accumulation.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Clinical Pharmacology

    Context:

    • Investigated the electroencephalographic (EEG) and clinical effects of baclofen.
    • Included 46 neurological patients and 7 healthy volunteers.

    Purpose:

    • To examine how baclofen influences brain activity and clinical presentation.
    • To identify patient subgroups susceptible to baclofen-induced EEG changes.

    Summary:

    • Baclofen administration resulted in increased slow EEG activity in 27 patients.
    • Pronounced EEG slowing was observed in patients with spinal/brain-stem disease, sensory deficits, and renal insufficiency.
    • Baclofen's depression of afferent pathways likely causes EEG slowing.
    • One patient with renal insufficiency developed reversible organic brain syndrome and myoclonus, interpreted as baclofen-induced epileptic stupor due to drug accumulation.

    Impact:

    • Highlights potential EEG changes and neurological side effects of baclofen.
    • Identifies risk factors (renal insufficiency, specific neurological conditions) for adverse baclofen reactions.
    • Suggests careful monitoring of baclofen dosage and patient condition, especially in vulnerable populations.
