    Author: Greve JM, Ribeiro JB, Camargo AJ, Chiovato J, Battistella LR, Barros Filho TE.

    Abstract:
    This paper concerns the "H" reflex in eleven patients with spastic spinal cord injury (C5-T10), treated with Baclofen (50 mg/day) or Diazepam (20 mg/day). The "H" reflex was tested in the tibial nerve before and 15 days after the interrupted use of the drugs. Five patients used Baclofen and 6 patients used Diazepam. The latency time was measured. All the patients showed normal latency time before the use of the drugs. After the use all but one didn't show any significant alterations of the latency time. The patient, who showed a greater latency after use of drugs, presented an improvement of the motor function.
