Effects of the electrical stimulation of the presacral nerve on contractility of the human pregnant uterus

Electrical stimulation of the presacral nerve in the pregnant woman results in increased uterine contractility. Subsequent stimuli produce a response of less intensity without relation to the intensity of the stimuli. The injection of oxytocin showed that the myometrium is capable of maximal respons...

Zusammenfassung:Electrical stimulation of the presacral nerve in the pregnant woman results in increased uterine contractility. Subsequent stimuli produce a response of less intensity without relation to the intensity of the stimuli. The injection of oxytocin showed that the myometrium is capable of maximal response, but is temporarily inhibited by the effect of earlier nerve stimulation.
