Brief summary
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.
Interventions
PROCEDUREEjaculatory test
Measures of sphincter pressures during ejaculation will be registered using a sensor introduced in the urethra on patient with spinal cord injury.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Sphincter urethral pressure measured by electronic microsensors to asses ejaculatory dyssynergia | at inclusion | The presence of an ejaculatory dyssynergia will be certify by analysis of sphincter urethral pressure curves registered by microsensors during ejaculation |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Determination of type of ejaculation by bladder catheterization | at inclusion | The type of ejaculation ( antegrade, retrograde or mixed) will be determined by searching sperm in urines due to a bladder catheterization after ejaculation |
| Sphincter urethral pressure to asses type of ejaculatory dyssynergia | at inclusion | The type of ejaculatory dyssynergia will be determined by analysis of sphincter urethral pressures curves during ejaculation |
| American Spinal Injury Association score | at inclusion | The neurological examination will be done by measuring the American Spinal Injury Association score, the international standard for evaluation of spinal cord injury |
| Frequency of ejaculation after stimulation | at inclusion | The stimulation parameters will be measured during vibro massage |
| Amplitude of ejaculation after stimulation | at inclusion | The stimulation parameters will be measured during vibro massage |
