This trial is enrolling 55 individuals with acute traumatic spinal cord injury to test the effect of early oral baclofen treatment on functional recovery. If included, participants will either receive baclofen as soon as any signs of spasticity appear, or usual care, where baclofen is started only when spasticity becomes severe and problematic. Final testing will be performed at 6 months after the injury.
