摘要
An open, multi-centre study was carried out in 804 patients complaining of sleep disorders to assess the effectiveness and acceptance of temazepam as a hypnotic. Patients received between 10 mg and 30 mg (mean 16.4 mg) temazepam each night for a week. Subjective assessments using a self-administered questionnaire were made daily of the quality and quantity of sleep. The results showed that sleep induction was rapid and most patients enjoyed a relatively uninterrupted night's sleep, and awakened feeling refreshed. Patient acceptance was good and there was a low incidence of residual or other adverse effects of treatment. © 1978 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.
