Pelvic evoked responses.
An electrophysiological method to measure the sacral reflex arc has been developed and is described in detail. The latencies of 15 normal subjects are recorded. The electromyographic responses were abolished in seven multiple sclerotic patients with unstable bladders after subtrigonal phenol injection.
