Randomized controlled trial of propranolol on social communication and anxiety in children and young adults with autism spectrum disorder

ConclusionsPropranolol did not impact social interaction measures or language, but there were indications of a beneficial effect for anxiety. This will need confirmation in a larger multicenter trial, monitoring markers or characteristics to identify those participants most likely to respond to propranolol for anxiety, and determine whether there is a subset of participants that are responsive for other previously reported outcomes.
