Abstract
|
|
|
|
Zolpidem, an imidazopyridine drug that affects the gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor, is typically used as a hypnotic sedative. It has been reported that this drug improves motor symptoms in patients with various movement disorders, including Parkinson disease. We presented a patient with advanced Parkinson disease who demonstrated improved akinesia after taking zolpidem without sleep induction or consciousness changes.
