pindolol and Action Tremor

pindolol has been researched along with Action Tremor in 14 studies

Pindolol: A moderately lipophilic beta blocker (ADRENERGIC BETA-ANTAGONISTS). It is non-cardioselective and has intrinsic sympathomimetic actions, but little membrane-stabilizing activity. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmocopoeia, 30th ed, p638)
pindolol : A member of the class of indols which is the 2-hydroxy-3-(isopropylamino)propyl ether derivative of 1H-indol-4-ol.

"The tremor was measured twice a week by means of three apparative methods: an accelerometer, a 'hole-plate' and an 'aimed tapping plate', both constructed by Janke, and was also studied by means of a self-evaluation rating-scale."6.65[Treatment of lithium tremor with the beta receptor blocker, pindolol]. ( Floru, L; Tegeler, J; Wolmsen, H, 1979)
" The effects of single oral doses of three beta-adrenoceptor partial agonists (Ro 31-1118, flusoxolol and pindolol), two beta-adrenoceptor antagonists (propranolol and atenolol), two beta-adrenoceptor agonists (salbutamol and prenalterol) and placebo on sleeping heart rate, quality of sleep, supine heart rate, exercise heart rate, blood pressure, forearm blood flow and finger tremor were studied in eight healthy male volunteers."5.06An assessment of the partial agonist activity of Ro 31-1118, flusoxolol and pindolol in man. ( McCaffrey, PM; Riddell, JG; Shanks, RG, 1987)
"In a total of 36 volunteers with cardiac hyperreaction, investigations were carried out on the effect of bisoprolol (designated tradename: Concor), pindolol and placebo on central nervous functions with the aid of a reaction test, spiral aftereffect, tremor test and mood and sleep questionnaires."5.05[Comparative study of the central nervous system effect of the beta receptor blockaders pindolol and bisoprolol]. ( Görtelmeyer, R; Klingmann, I, 1985)
"The effects of 120 mg propranolol and 15 mg pindolol daily on positional tremor of 24 patients with benign essential tremor were analyzed with a double-blind crossover trial and electrical tremor recording."5.04Comparison between the effects of pindolol and propranolol on essential tremor. ( Fogelholm, R; Larsen, A; Teravainen, H, 1977)

"6 Atenolol 60 mg was the only drug to allow a fenoterol airway response similar to placebo."2.65Assessment of beta-adrenoceptor antagonists in asthmatic patients. ( Alpers, JH; Crockett, AJ; Latimer, KM; McIntyre, EL; Ruffin, RE; Ward, HE, 1982)
"The tremor was measured twice a week by means of three apparative methods: an accelerometer, a 'hole-plate' and an 'aimed tapping plate', both constructed by Janke, and was also studied by means of a self-evaluation rating-scale."2.65[Treatment of lithium tremor with the beta receptor blocker, pindolol]. ( Floru, L; Tegeler, J; Wolmsen, H, 1979)
"Drug-induced tremor is an important differential diagnosis for tremor syndromes."2.47[Drug-induced tremor]. ( Block, F; Dafotakis, M, 2011)
