Abstract: A retrospective case-study to determine the efficacy of Zolpidem in neurologically impaired patients to improve brain perfusion and functionThe prescription drug Zolpidem, generally used as a sleep induction agent, has been found to have significant beneficial effects on patients with various types of brain damage. The initial findings of this study support the paradoxical conclusion that Zolpidem is able to restore varying degrees of brain perfusion within subpopulations of brain damaged patients.
