Zolpidem during recovery after lower-back fusion surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial studies whether taking zolpidem around the time of recovery from lower-back (lumbar) fusion surgery affects outcomes. It may help doctors understand how sleep medicine can (or can’t) support recovery in certain people.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re between 18 and 75 years old
- You have degenerative (wear-and-tear) disease in your lower back
- You are scheduled for an open, first-time lumbar fusion of 1 to 3 levels
- You do not use sleep aids nightly
- You do not have insomnia or sleep apnea
- You are not allergic to zolpidem or opiates

This trial tests a personalized plan to manage pain after lumbar (lower back) fusion and decompression surgery. It may help reduce difficult pain while guiding safe use of opioids around the time of surgery.
This trial studies whether giving steroid medicine after spine fusion surgery can improve recovery or reduce problems after surgery. It focuses on adults over 50 having a back or lower back fusion and compares outcomes based on whether they meet the study’s medication and safety rules.
This trial tests a new pain management plan for people having spinal fusion surgery on their lower back. It aims to find the best way to control pain while reducing side effects.
This trial tests if giving flumazenil after remimazolam sedation can help people think more clearly after hip replacement surgery. If you are having a planned hip replacement and are generally healthy, this study might be for you.
This trial tests different treatments to help people with long-term (chronic) pain and severe insomnia sleep better. It’s looking at three options—one medicine (lemborexant) compared with existing sleep medicines (zopiclone and clonidine)—and whether they improve sleep when non-medicine sleep strategies haven’t worked.
This study compares two medications, tizanidine and zolpidem, to see which one works better for people with primary insomnia (trouble sleeping without another cause). Both are commonly used for sleep, and this trial will help find the best option.
