Failure of Nimodipine to Reverse Acute Experimental Spinal Cord Injury

Abstract
The calcium-channel blocking agent, nimodipine, was administered to cats for 5 days after acute experimental SCI. Six weeks after injury, no significant differences in neurologic recovery or white matter tissue preservation at the injury site were found between treated and control animals. Key Words: Spinal cord injury–Nimodipine–Calcium-channel antagonist.
