- - A patient in a minimally conscious state (MCS) showed significant improvement after being treated with Zolpidem, suggesting its potential benefits for similar patients
- - The study utilized medical records, patient care experiences, and literature reviews to support the findings on Zolpidem's effectiveness in MCS
- - The results highlight the need for more trials to explore Zolpidem as a treatment option in MCS while identifying factors that might predict which patients will benefit the most
