Pilot Study of Ejaculatory Dyssynergia by Electronic Microsensors of Sphincters

Lille Catholic University11 enrolled

Overview

The objective of this research is to study the sphincter activity during ejaculation in patients with spinal cord injury in order to detect an ejaculatory dyssynergia. For this purpose, using a catheter the protocol plans to measure the sphincter pressures during ejaculation. Moreover, cardiovascular parameters will be measured continuously during the ejaculatory test.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Sphincter urethral pressure measured by electronic microsensors to asses ejaculatory dyssynergia

The presence of an ejaculatory dyssynergia will be certify by analysis of sphincter urethral pressure curves registered by microsensors during ejaculation

Time frame: at inclusion

Secondary Outcomes

Determination of type of ejaculation by bladder catheterization

The type of ejaculation ( antegrade, retrograde or mixed) will be determined by searching sperm in urines due to a bladder catheterization after ejaculation

Time frame: at inclusion

Sphincter urethral pressure to asses type of ejaculatory dyssynergia

The type of ejaculatory dyssynergia will be determined by analysis of sphincter urethral pressures curves during ejaculation

Time frame: at inclusion

American Spinal Injury Association score

The neurological examination will be done by measuring the American Spinal Injury Association score, the international standard for evaluation of spinal cord injury

Time frame: at inclusion

Frequency of ejaculation after stimulation

The stimulation parameters will be measured during vibro massage

Time frame: at inclusion

Amplitude of ejaculation after stimulation

The stimulation parameters will be measured during vibro massage

Time frame: at inclusion
