Treatment of autonomic dysreflexia with phenoxybenzamine
The Journal of Urology
|January 1, 1976
Abstract:
Our 9 patients with severe autonomic dysreflexia treated with phenoxybenzamine, an alpha-sympatholytic agent, had a dramatic relief of symptoms. Bladder and urethral pressure studies before and after treatment with this agent suggest that the inappropriate rise in urethral resistance in these patients is a result of an appropriate but extraordinary response to bladder filling.
