    AbstractPropofol is a sedative and a hypnotic agent used in the induction and maintenance of general anesthesia. Propofol also relaxes skeletal muscles. It has been used successfully to treat local or diffuse muscular rigidity from various etiologies. Propofol also provides modulation of pain processing and perception. Our case report describes a 25-year-old patient with painful spastic cerebral palsy, who experienced prolonged improvement of his symptoms after treatment with propofol. The patient has received 13 administrations of propofol with similar efficacy each time.
