Sleep Quality and the Efficacy of a Multimodal Sleep Pathway in Hospitalized Orthopedic Trauma Patients (NCT07336277)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this study is to determine whether a multimodal sleep pathway can enhance sleep quality in hospitalized patients with orthopedic trauma. It will also evaluate the effect of this pathway on opioid use and pain perception during recovery. The main study questions are: * Does the multimodal sleep pathway improve sleep quality and duration? * Does the pathway reduce the amount of opioids patients use during hospitalization? * Does improved sleep reduce pain interference with daily activities? Researchers will compare the multimodal sleep pathway to standard postoperative care to see if the pathway helps patients sleep better and rely less on opioids. Participants will: * Receive either the multimodal sleep pathway (zolpidem, melatonin, and sleep hygiene education) or standard care * Wear a wrist-worn actigraphy device to track sleep during their hospital stay * Complete daily questionnaires about sleep quality and pain
