  • Title: Nifedipine pretreatment for autonomic dysreflexia during electroejaculation.
    Author: Steinberger RE, Ohl DA, Bennett CJ, McCabe M, Wang SC.
    Journal: Urology; 1990 Sep; 36(3):228-31. PubMed ID: 2392813.
    Abstract:
    Ten spinal-cord-injured males who exhibited autonomic dysreflexia during electroejaculation were given sublingual calcium channel blocker nifedipine pretreatment to prevent this complication. Nifedipine was successful in decreasing peak systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressures during the procedure. The use of nifedipine resulted in fewer aborted trials and allowed higher energy delivery during the procedure.
