Common drug, given promptly, reduces incidence of post-traumatic stress disorder, small study finds

. Pitman's team did not find fewer cases of PTSD in the propranalol group, but propranolol patients experienced lower measures of stress (lower heart rates and skin conductance measurements) than the placebo group when they listened to a vivid narrative of their traumatic event three months after its occurrence.

The first author of the study is Guillaume Vaiva, MD, PhD, at the Clinical School of Psychiatry, University of Lille Medical School, Lille, France. Co-authors are Drs. Franois Ducrocq, Karine Jezequel, Benoit Averland and Philippe Lestavel, all at University of Lille, and Dr. Alain Brunet, Department of Psychiatry, McGill University and the Douglas Hospital Research Center in Montreal, Canada.
