The present invention provides a therapy for treating loss of GABA-mediated pre-synaptic inhibition after spinal injury. The therapeutic regimen includes spinal segment-specific upregulation of GAD65 (glutamate decarboxylase) and VGAT (vesicular GABA transporter) to modulate chronic spasticity in patients after spinal traumatic or ischemic injury.
