Does Valerian Root Help With Valerian root extract has shown improvements in sleep qua...?

Evidence Summary

Valerian root extract has shown improvements in sleep quality (total quality, latency, duration, efficiency) in post-surgical patients over 30 nights compared to placebo (PMID: 33420602). One RCT found it may reduce odds of early postoperative cognitive dysfunction after CABG surgery (OR=0.108) (PMID: 25173770). An EEG-based RCT found valerian altered functional brain connectivity (increased frontal alpha coherence, decreased theta coherence) correlated with anxiolysis, though no significant between-group differences on clinical anxiety scales were observed (PMID: 30632220).
