Subject must be either: \-Currently established on a regular dose of anti\-spasticity therapy, or \-Previously tried and failed, or could not tolerate suitable anti\-spasticity therapy. ?Stable regimen of spasticity and disease modifying medications and willing to maintain this for the duration of the study. ?In the investigator's opinion, the subject is unaware of which IMP s/he will receive in Phase A. ?Willing for his or her name to be notified to his or her primary care physician, and consultant and the responsible authorities for participation in this study, as applicable. At Entry into Phase A \- Single blind (Visit 2\) ?Subjects have registered spasticity NRS scores via the IVRS over the six days (A2 to A7\) from Visit 1\. Subjects who are non\-compliant will be deemed ineligible to continue. ?Subject has at least moderate spasticity at Visit 2: NRS spasticity scores, as recorded by the subject on all screening days (A2 to A7\), sum to at least 24 (e.g. a score of 4 x 6 days). ?In the investigator's opinion, the subject is unaware of which IMP s/he will receive in Phase A. At Entry into Phase B/Randomisation (Visit 3\) \- Double Blind ALL subjects must meet the following additional criteria: ?The subject must have had at least a 20% reduction (comparing Weeks 1 and 5\) in weekly mean NRS spasticity score, as recorded via IVRS, (i.e. defined as having the capacity to respond to treatment with Sativex). ?Subject has complied fully with all study procedures including the completion of the spasticity NRS scores during Week 5\. Subjects who are non\-compliant will be deemed ineligible to continue.
