A Patient With Minimally Conscious Syndrome Due to Cerebrovascular Accident Whose Symptoms Resolved With Zolpidem.
Objective: In this report, we discuss the case of a patient with minimally conscious state (MCS) whose clinical condition significantly improved after Zolpidem therapy. We aim to provide supportive evidence for inclusion of zolpidem trials in patients with MCS.
Methods: Our team used electronic medical records, direct patient care experiences, and literature review to obtain information for this case report.
Results: Twice daily zolpidem therapy led to significant clinical improvement in our patient with MCS. In addition, this improvement was maintained throughout an increasingly arduous medical course.
Conclusions: Minimally conscious state is a disorder with limited proven therapeutic options. Zolpidem administration has demonstrated immense benefit in a select population of patients, including ours. Given the potential for great improvement with limited downside, zolpidem trial presents an intriguing treatment option. Further clarification of prognostic features to stratify responders and nonresponders to therapy is needed.
期刊介绍：
Clinical Neuropharmacology is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to the pharmacology of the nervous system in its broadest sense. Coverage ranges from such basic aspects as mechanisms of action, structure-activity relationships, and drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics, to practical clinical problems such as drug interactions, drug toxicity, and therapy for specific syndromes and symptoms. The journal publishes original articles and brief reports, invited and submitted reviews, and letters to the editor. A regular feature is the Patient Management Series: in-depth case presentations with clinical questions and answers.
