About this study
Official title: Advancing the Multimodal Pathway: Investigating the Use of Sleep and Zolpidem in the Recovery After Shoulder Arthroplasty
The purpose of the study is to investigate the efficacy of sleep medicine in the recovery of orthopaedic shoulder arthroplasty patients. The investigators hypothesize that a multimodal sleep pathway including non-pharmacological sleep hygiene interventions and the use of zolpidem can improve patient sleep, pain control, and subsequent recovery after undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty.
Read the detailed description
Shoulder pain at night is a common symptom of shoulder arthritis and contributes to sleep disturbances. Many patients also have difficulty sleeping after shoulder surgery due to the constraints of sling immobilization. While in the hospital, sleep is also disrupted due to pain, nursing staff, other patients, and bathroom use. While poor sleep may appear trivial, sleep deprivation in animal models has identified significant adverse effects on bone metabolism, bone mass, and recovery from post surgical pain.
Recent evidence has shown that non-pharmacological sleep interventions that improve sleep hygiene and duration can optimize athletic peak performance, fatigue, and recovery. Furthermore, pharmacological sleep aid use with zolpidem in orthopaedic postoperative patients has suggested safe administration, improved pain control, reduced pain medication use, and higher patient satisfaction in the settings of total knee and hip arthroplasty, rotator cuff repairs, and ACL reconstruction.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Zolpidem in people with Sleep Disturbance and Shoulder Arthritis, run by University of California, San Francisco at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 May 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Lead's Sleep scale (time frame: postoperative day 1). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03269760, which also lists 11 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 May 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 28 Oct 2026.
