From my quick research there have been animal studies that show Baclofen may have a use in reflux. I couldn't find any human studies. Talk to a gastroenterologist maybe.

I have been taking Baclofen for a couple of weeks now and have been able to reduce dosage of Prevacid and Zantac in half. I take 1/2 tablet at 4pm and 1/2 to 1 tablet around 9 pm and my symptoms of reflux have improved. I am really pleased with the results.
