Melatonin for better sleep after hip replacement
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether taking melatonin (a natural sleep supplement) after hip replacement surgery improves sleep quality, comparing two different doses. If you're having a hip replacement, better sleep could help you recover more comfortably.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are scheduled for a first-time hip replacement on one hip only.
- You do not have a diagnosed sleep disorder that needs treatment (like insomnia or sleep apnea).
- You do not take any prescription sleep medications currently.
- You have no allergy or medical reason to avoid melatonin.
