Functional recovery from spinal cord trauma following dexamethazone and chlorpromazine therapy in dogs
Research in Veterinary Science
|September 1, 1976
Abstract:
The spinal cords of 20 normal dogs were exposed via dorsal laminectomies and damaged with a known impact force. Ten dogs were treated with dexamethazone and 10 dogs with chlorpromazine for five days after surgery. The results showed that neither drug had a significantly beneficial effect on the functional recovery of the spinal cords, when compared to a control group of similarly traumatised dogs.
