Baclofen at 20-40 mg/day was used to successfully treat two post-amputation patients who developed continuous complex involuntary movements of the proximal extremity. These autonomous movements were otherwise recalcitrant to therapy and were felt to arise from neural generators intrinsic to the spinal cord. Baclofen is known to be useful for spasticity of spinal etiology and now appears to be indicated for treatment of involuntary autonomous movements in post-amputation patients.
