title: [Pharmacologic study of nicergoline in the pathology of the cervico-prostatic sphincter].
abstract: An urodynamic survey and an E.M.G. of the striated sphincters were performed in 20 patients presenting with prostatism, before and after infusion of either nicergoline or placebo, under double-blind conditions. Statistical analysis was performed and demonstrated a significant decrease in the tone of the bladder neck, the prostate, the striated sphincter and the bladder; impoverished electromyographic activity of the striated sphincters; increased maximal and mean urine flow and decreased post-voiding residue. The authors stress the efficacy of nicergoline in cervico-prostato-sphincteric syndromes.
