The aim of the present study was to determine the efficacy of ramelteon for treating delirium.
Three patients were prescribed ramelteon for delirium. The severity of the delirium was assessed using the Japanese version of the Memorial Delirium Assessment Scale.
Memorial Delirium Assessment Scale scores improved after treatment with ramelteon in all cases.
These cases suggest that ramelteon may be beneficial in the treatment of delirium. Randomized controlled studies are needed to confirm the therapeutic benefits.
