Improving Sleep Quality in Heart Failure
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Zolpidem Tartrate and Placebo oral capsule for Sleep Disturbance and Heart Failure. Completed, enrolled 5 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Poor sleep quality is common in patients with heart failure. The limited available evidence intimates that improving sleep quality in patients with heart failure may improve morbidity and quality of life in this patient population. However, there is a paucity of evidence assessing the use of effective pharmacologic therapies in heart failure. The nonbenzodiazepine, GABA receptor agonist, zolpidem, has been found to have considerable benefits over traditional benzodiazepines as a soporific medication. The investigators hypothesize that zolpidem will safely improve sleep quality in patients with heart failure.
