[Lormetazepam in the treatment of sleep disorders in a medical practice; double-blind test on 100 patients (author's transl)].

Lormetazepam (1 mg) and diazepam (5 mg) were compared in a double-blind study of 100 patients with sleep disorders associated with a medical illness. Assignment to one of two treatment groups was at random. Lormetazepam had a greater hypnotic effect than diazepam in all significant variables (P less than 0.05). There was no hangover effect or other side effects with lormetazepam, which was thus superior to diazepam also in this respect (P less than 0.05).

Comparative efficacy of lormetazepam (Noctamid) and diazepam (Valium) in 100 out-patients with insomnia.

Lormetazepam (Noctamid) at a dosage of 1 mg was compared with diazepam (Valium) at a dosage of 5 mg in a 7-day double-blind study. The study involved fifty patients in the lormetazepam group and fifty patients in the diazepam group. All the patients were suffering from sleep disorders as a concomitant symptom of general diseases. Lormatazepam was significantly better than diazepam in the: -Reduction of the time taken to fall asleep (p less than 0.05) -Prolongation of the duration of uninterrupted sleep (p less than 0.05) -Reduction of the frequency of awakening (p less than 0.05). Lormetazepam displayed no hang-over effects or other side-effects and, in this respect too, was significantly superior to diazepam (p less than 0.05).
