Effect of pindolol on stress-related disturbances of musical performance: preliminary communication
Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine
|March 1, 1983
Abstract:
The effect of 5 mg pindolol on stress-induced disturbances of performance were assessed in 30 professional musicians. An overall inverse relationship was found between anxiety and musical performance. Reduction in anxiety by administration of pindolol was associated with a subjective improvement in performance. A stress-related tachycardia and increase in systolic blood pressure were attenuated. Pindolol had no effect on peak flow measurements.
