Ts. Eligulashvili et al., THE INFLUENCE OF IMOVAN ON SLEEP STRUCTUR E AND SOME RESPIRATIVE INDEXES IN SLEEP IN PATIENTS WITH INSOMNIA, Zurnal nevropatologii i psihiatrii im. S.S. Korsakova, 97(4), 1997, pp. 50-52
Night sleep was examined in 120 patients with different forms of insom
nia. The positive effect of imovane was shown both on presomnic and in
trasomnic disorders. Transitory side effects (dryness, bitter taste in
the mouth) were in some cases that didn't need cessation of therapy.
Polysomnographic studies confirmed effectivity of imovane: there were
observed either lengthening of the duration of sleep, its 2 stage, del
ta-sleep, or decrease of the duration of falling asleep. There were no
respiratory changes after course of imovane, meanwhile some indices p
ositive dynamics was revealed in this case.
