amobarbital has been researched along with Complication, Postoperative in 59 studies
Amobarbital: A barbiturate with hypnotic and sedative properties (but not antianxiety). Adverse effects are mainly a consequence of dose-related CNS depression and the risk of dependence with continued use is high. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p565)
amobarbital : A member of the class of barbiturates that is pyrimidine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-trione substituted by a 3-methylbutyl and an ethyl group at position 5. Amobarbital has been shown to exhibit sedative and hypnotic properties.

| Does Memantine Improve Verbal Memory Task Performance in Subjects With Localization-related Epilepsy and Memory Dysfunction? A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial[NCT01054599] | 29 participants (Actual) | Interventional | 2009-01-31 | Completed | |||

SRT-CLTR (range 0-72; higher scores indicate better memory), and 7-24 Spatial Memory Test (range 0-35; scores are summed across the 5 learning trials, with higher scores indicating better memory) scores will be assessed across the first (baseline) and third (post-open label memantine) testing sessions. These measures are considered to be scores on a scale, rather than standard units. The hypothesis was that subjects randomized to memantine would demonstrate sustained improvement from baseline, while the placebo group would demonstrate improvements after taking open label memantine (compared to baseline).
