Benzodiazepine use is a research area that focuses on the pharmacological effects, patterns of use, and potential risks associated with benzodiazepine drugs. Benzodiazepines are a class of psychoactive drugs commonly prescribed for their sedative, anxiolytic, and muscle relaxant properties. Research in this area explores how benzodiazepines are used in clinical settings, as well as their misuse, abuse potential, and the development of dependence and addiction. Studies also examine the impact of long-term benzodiazepine use on physical and mental health, as well as strategies for safe prescribing and the management of benzodiazepine withdrawal symptoms.
