[Diagnostics and treatment of sleep disorders in elderly people].
A meta-analysis was done of the published literature concerning the modern status of the issue of sleep disturbances and of findings from the author's investigations. Data are submitted obtained in a clinical examination of 61 elderly patient in a therapeutical hospital. In the above patients, high prevalence has been revealed of different sleep disturbances. Insomnia is often a sequela of psychophysiological derangements, which fact necessitates an exhaustive differential diagnosis and choice of remedies to be used in therapy of the above disorders. An experience is described of employment of zopiclon (Somnol Grindex) to deal with sleep problems in those patients in the involutional period. It is suggested that psychiatrist services be more actively used to give the necessary advice to those patients of the cardiological profile presenting with sleep disturbances.
