Treatment of tardive dyskinesia with propranolol
Abstract
A double-blind, intensive case design was used to study the effect of propranolol on tardive dyskinesia. No short-term improvement was observed, but two of the four subjects responded to long-term propranolol use. Properties of propranolol other than acute beta blockade are suggested as possible mechanisms of action.
