Effect of baclofen and dantrolene on bladder stimulator-induced detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia in dogs
Abstract
The effect of baclofen (Lioresal) and dantrolene (Dantrium) on bladder stimulation-induced detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia was studied in normal and chronic T-10 paraplegic dogs. Dantrolene, which depresses skeletal muscle contractility, had little effect on electrically evoked contractions of the urethral sphincter in dogs. Baclofen, which acts centrally by potentiating presynaptic inhibition, depressed the pudendal to pudendal nerve reflex and decreased urethral resistance during bladder stimulation.
