Summary

This study tests whether Compound Ciwujia Granules, a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, can improve sleep in people with chronic insomnia. 1,200 adults aged 40-75 will take either the herb, a standard sleep drug (estazolam), or both for 4 weeks. Researchers will measure sleep quality, mood, and safety over 12 weeks.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Compound Ciwujia Granules (herbal remedy) and estazolam (sleep medication)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a new herbal option for treating chronic insomnia with fewer side effects than standard sleep drugs.

What could go wrong

This is a phase 4 trial, but results may not apply to everyone. The herbal remedy may not be more effective than placebo or existing drugs, and long-term safety is still being studied.
