Therapeutic effects of pindolol on behavioral disturbances associated with organic brain disease: a double-blind study
J Clin Psychiatry.
1986 Aug.
Abstract
A double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study was conducted to examine the effects of pindolol for the treatment of 11 patients with impulsive, explosive behaviors and other emotional-behavioral abnormalities as a consequence of brain disease or injury. Pindolol treatment was associated with significant therapeutic benefits without sedation and without the use-limiting side effects that occur with propranolol.
