Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Sublingual zolpidem

Arm Description

1 sublingual tablet (5mg) 30 minutes before bed time during 60 days.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

To assess the safety profile of sublingual zolpidem during the long-term insomnia treatment.
The safety profile will be assessed considering the number and percentage of each adverse event.

Secondary Outcome Measures

To evaluate daytime sleepiness in the next morning.
The daytime sleepiness will be assessed using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). The scale has a score from 0 to 24 and a score more than 10 is considered as excessive daytime sleepiness.
To assess the adverse events during 7 days after the last dose administration.
The safety profile will be assessed considering the number and percentage of each adverse event occurred 7 days after the last dose administration.
To assess the number of adverse events in different periods of the clinical trial.
The safety profile will be assessed considering the number of adverse events during the first 30 days and from 31 to 60 days of treatment.
To assess the number of participants with adverse events in different periods of the clinical trial.
The safety profile will be assessed considering the number of adverse events during the first 30 days and from 31 to 60 days of treatment.
