Although it has not yet been thoroughly investigated, there is potential for stimulants, which promote catecholamine release, to be an effective treatment in the early stages of recovery from brain trauma, and these positive effects could reduce the symptoms of PTA.

Musculoskeletal paralysis does not attenuate the effects of catecholamine release.

Massive catecholamine release from caffeine poisoning.

This phenomenon was first discovered in animal studies by Arnsten and colleagues, who have shown that stress-induced catecholamine release in PFC rapidly decreases PFC neuronal firing and impairs working memory performance through feedforward, intracellular signaling pathways.

This is caused by catecholamine release and by infections.

Further work was done in chromaffin cells to investigate catecholamine release from large dense core vesicles.

Not all benzodiazepines and beta blockers are safe to use in an adrenergic storm; for instance, alprazolam and propranolol; alprazolam weakly agonizes dopamine receptors and causes catecholamine release while propranolol mildly promotes some catecholamine release.

Respiratory: Induced catecholamine release and stimulation of β adrenergic receptors causes bronchodilation.
