I thought this site may be of interest to some. It is primarily a Canadian site dedicated to SCI rehabilitation evidence. However there's contributions from docs and scientists the world over. I spent a long time searching through it a couple of years ago and found it very interesting and helpful for new ideas.
Look when you have time to spare though as it can be a bit dense and medical jargon heavy in places. It's meant for patients and doctors too. It describes the success (or lack) of different interventions. e.g. passive stretching and hippotherapy for spasticity plus lots more.
"About the SCIRE Project:
We search the published literature and compile public health relevant reviews — eliminating your need to search and screen individual databases.
SCIRE covers a comprehensive set of topics relevant to SCI rehabilitation and community reintegration. SCIRE reviews, evaluates, and translates existing research knowledge into a clear and concise format to inform health professionals and other stakeholders of best rehabilitation practices following SCI."

The link I have posted is to the section on non pharma aids to help ease spasticity as I have seen a few posts here about it recently (there's a section for med interventions too). Maybe some helpful ideas if you are struggling with spasticity and looking for new ways to manage it ?
There's also a good section on pain management (index on left of page) with evidence re drugs used for pain management and also non pharma ideas for pain management. Plus lots of other stuff.
