title: Quality of life and insomnia validation study for a specifically designed questionnaire.
abstract: A questionnaire was devised to assess changes in the quality of life of insomniac patients when treated by a hypnotic. The questionnaire was validated in two groups of patients (60 non-insomniac and 52 insomniac patients). The results of this study confirmed the relevance of the questionnaire and its power to distinguish between the two groups of patients. A second study carried out simultaneously in 58 insomniac patients receiving treatment showed the internal reliability of the questionnaire and its reproducibility after 3 to 5 days.
