How To Treat "Autonomic Dysreflexia" The Paralysis Society of America (PSA) received your name and information as a referral from Ann Adair, Associate Director of Medical Service, Paralyzed Veterans of America. I would like to put you in contact with the National Spinal Cord Injury Hotline at , or scihotline@aol.com. The SCI Hotline is a nationwide network of volunteers who share their knowledge and experience with individuals and families who are dealing with spinal cord injury or disease. The staff of the Hotline works with people to find answers to questions ranging from therapeutic programs to home modifications, from medical equipment to sports and recreation. The Hotline facilities their callers search for support and research by referring them to professionals with expertise in SCI/D or others who have personal experience who are in their local area. I believe the Hotline should be able to answer any questions you have about spinal cord injury/disease. For more information about the many benefits and discounts you can receive as a PSA member, we invite you to contact PSA Membership Services toll-free at 1-888-772-1711.

Autonomic Dysreflexia Autonomic dysreflexia (AD) is an emergency situation presented by individuals that have a T-5, or higher, spinal cord injury. It is important to be able to recognize this complication, know what causes it, and how to treat it as it can be life-threatening. INDEX What are the indicators for the onset of AD? What sort of things can precipitate this syndrome? What can be done to manage an episode of autonomic dysreflexia? How can autonomic dysreflexia be prevented? What are the indicators for the onset of AD? 1.     Hypertension (blood pressure greater than 200/100). Uncontrolled high blood pressure is the dangerous part of autonomic dysreflexia, for it may be high enough to cause a stroke. 2.     Pounding headache 3.     Flushed (reddened) face 4.     Red blotches on the skin above level of spinal injury 5.     Sweating above level of spinal injury 6.     Nasal stuffiness 7.     Nausea (secondary to vagal parasympathetic stimulation)  8.     Bradycardia - slow pulse <60 beats per minute 9.     Piloerection ("goose bumps") below level of spinal injury

Hormone therapy Autonomic Dysreflexia What it is, what it does, and what to do if you experience it You have a pounding headache. You have goosebumps. Your neck and face are flushed. What’s going on? If you have a spinal cord injury at the T-6 level or above, you may be experiencing symptoms of autonomic dysreflexia. In some cases, individuals whose injury is at the T-10 level or above also may experience autonomic dysreflexia. Other symptoms of autonomic dysreflexia may include: sweating, nasal congestion, slow heartbeat, blurred vision, and nausea. Autonomic dysreflexia is the body’s reaction to misinterpreted sensations (usually painful) from below the injury site. Because nerve messages about sensations cannot reach the brain through the spinal cord, the messages are sent via the autonomic nerves (those not in the spinal column). This can result in an autonomic reflex, which can cause blood vessels to constrict and raise blood pressure. In response to the high blood pressure, the brain sends messages to blood vessels to dilate but, because of the spinal cord injury, the messages are not received. The blood pressure remains high and, if not lowered quickly, can lead to stroke and death.

How can autonomic dysreflexia be prevented? Autonomic Dysreflexia (AD), also known as Hyperreflexia, is a potentially dangerous complication of spinal cord injury (SCI). In AD, an individual's blood pressure may rise to dangerous levels and if not treated can lead to stroke and possibly death. Individuals with SCI at the T-6 level or above are at greater risk. AD usually occurs because of a noxious (irritating) stimulus below the level of the injury. Symptoms include headache, facial flush, perspiration, and a stuffy nose. AD occurs primarily because of an imbalance in the body systems which control the blood pressure. The human body is an incredibly complicated and beautifully balanced machine. There are balances to each system of the body, including the blood pressure. One of the major ways the body controls blood pressure is by tightening or relaxing little muscles around the blood vessels. When the muscles contract, the blood vessels get smaller and blood pressure increases. Imagine a garden hose with water streaming through it; when you put your thumb over the opening of the hose, reducing the opening for the water to flow through, the water shoots out at a higher pressure. Similarly, when the blood vessels are smaller, the blood rushes around your body at higher pressure.
