Can a common anxiety pill calm brain injury rage?
NCT ID NCT01821690
Summary
This study tested whether the medication buspirone helps reduce anger, irritability, and aggression in people living with traumatic brain injury (TBI). 81 adults with TBI and significant irritability were randomly assigned to receive either buspirone or a placebo pill for 91 days, while a close observer reported on their behavior. The goal was to build better evidence for managing these challenging behavioral symptoms after head trauma.
