Sleep medication for better recovery after lung surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a sleep medication called lemborexant can improve sleep quality in the hospital after lung surgery. Better sleep may help you recover more comfortably.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how well we can predict whether you'll need extra help sleeping on the first night after lung surgery. It also checks if that affects your recovery on the ward. The goal is to improve care and comfort after surgery.
This study tests whether a sleep medication called lemborexant can help older adults recover their thinking and memory more quickly after surgery. It may reduce confusion or delirium that sometimes happens after an operation.
This trial tests if a medication called sodium oxybate (a liquid medicine used for sleep) can help improve sleep problems that often happen after lung surgery. It is designed for older adults having minimally invasive lung surgery, to see if taking this medicine after surgery leads to better sleep and recovery.
This study tests whether a medication called lemborexant can help prevent confusion or delirium after open heart surgery. It might help you recover more clearly.
This trial tests a sedative (remimazolam) given during lung surgery to see if it helps keep oxygen levels stable and protects memory and thinking after surgery. It is for older adults having lung surgery to remove a lobe.
This study tests whether a sleep medication called lemborexant can help older patients in the ICU sleep better and prevent post-surgery confusion. It may be a good fit if you are over 65 and will be in the ICU for at least two days after surgery.
