NCT ID NCT07379073

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether giving doctors access to a special website can help them follow guidelines for prescribing benzodiazepines (medicines for anxiety and sleep). About 100 general practitioners in France will either get the website or continue as usual. Researchers will check prescription records to see if the website leads to shorter, safer treatment durations.
