An extensive review of the literature was performed in order to identify those psychometric variables and conditions which have proved to be sensitive to the CNS effects of antihistamines. It is hoped that the result of this review will allow the formulation of a series of guidelines which would be useful both to researchers, when deciding on the methodology of future trials, and to readers when assessing the validity of a particular volunteer study with a antihistamine.
