Abstract

Highlights: [•] The overall quality of research addressing this use of beta blockers is poor. [•] Research suggests that a symptom based approach is used by clinicians in prescribing of beta blockers. [•] There is some evidence for positive outcomes for a range of problem behaviours. [•] Beta blockers appear to be well tolerated in the populations studied. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
