Adverse events of pharmacological interventions for insomnia disorder in adults: a systematic review and network meta-analysis

Conclusion: Most drugs were positive associated with nervous system disorders and gastrointestinal disorders. Data on some drugs like flurazepam, nitrazepam, triazolam, and zaleplon in some outcomes were mainly based on limited study with rare event and thus was highly uncertain and do not allow firm conclusions.

Comparative efficacy and safety of hypnotics for insomnia in older adults: a systematic review and network meta-analysis

Conclusion: Considering study quality and the potential adverse effects of benzodiazepines and nonbenzodiazepines, low-dose doxepin seems to be the optimal pharmacotherapy for the improvements in total sleep time and sleep efficiency. Future RCTs investigating the treatment effects of hypnotics, particularly low-dose doxepin, on insomnia in older adults are warranted. PROSPERO Registration number: CRD42016046301.
