Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if eszopiclone relative to placebo (sugar pill) is effective and tolerable for people with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)-related sleep disturbance. The investigators will also examine the impact of treatment on sleep patterns, memory recall bias, and level of inflammatory markers (cytokines). The investigators predict eszopiclone will lead to greater improvement than placebo in measures of PTSD symptoms, memory recall bias, and level of inflammatory markers.

Primary Outcome

The Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS) is a highly detailed measure of the presence and severity of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-IV) Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) criteria. The severity score was calculated by adding up the frequency score (scale 0 = "none of the time" to 4 = "most or all of the time") and an intensity score (scale 0 = "none" to 4 = "extreme"), which can then be summed for all 17 symptom questions and/or for the three
