Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
The effect of zolpidem in patients with fibromyalgia: a dose ranging, double blind, placebo controlled, modified crossover study.
This dose ranging, double blind, placebo controlled, modified crossover study examined whether zolpidem would improve the disturbed sleep, fatigue, mood and pain symptoms in patients with fibromyalgia (FM). ⋯ Short term treatment with zolpidem (5 to 15 mg) does not affect the pain of FM, but is useful for sleep and daytime energy in this patient population.
