Abstract
One of the noteworthy aspects of the August 1969 issue of Indian Pediatrics was that it contained the first double-blind randomized study to be published in the journal since its inception. This study [1] entitled ‘Hydroxyzine hydrochloride in the management of children with behavioral problems’ originated from the departments of Pediatrics and Psychiatry at Amritsar Medical College. This was the natural progression of scientific curiousity due to two studies conducted earlier in the same departments. One had identified psychological disorders in 800 children presenting to the child guidance clinic with behavioral issues and the other had observed behavioral problems in 1000 children admitted with acute illnesses.
