Adding Magnesium Sulfate to Local Anesthetic in Combined Pectoral Nerve and Stellate Ganglion Block for Postoperative Pain Control After Modified Radical Mastectomy

We aim to study the effect of adding magnesium sulfate as an adjuvant to the local anesthetic used in the combined Pectoralis Nerve Block II (PECS II) and stellate ganglion block for postoperative pain control in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy.

Effect of Magnesium Sulfate Bolus on Intraoperative Neuromonitoring

Magnesium Sulfate(MgSo4) is increasingly being used as part of the multimodal pain regimen in the perioperative period. The intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) is utilized in complex spine and cranial surgeries to assess the functional integrity of the neural pathways. The effect of Magnesium sulfate on IONM has not been studied. This is a prospective, double blind, randomized placebo controlled trial to study the effect of Magnesium sulfate bolus on the amplitude and latency of somatosensory(SSEPs) and motor evoked potentials(MEPs) in patients undergoing surgery requiring IONM.

MAG-PAIN - MAGnesium for Postoperative Analgesia In the Newly Delivered

The study aims to investigate whether a commonly used medicine, magnesium, can help reduce pain after a Caesarean section. A total of 150 participants will be included. Their usual medical care will not change, and participation is entirely voluntary. The purpose of the study is to determine whether magnesium can improve pain relief after surgery and support faster recovery and bonding with the newborn. Before the operation, potential participants will receive a text message containing a short questionnaire about their background and their expectations regarding postoperative pain. On the day of surgery, all patients will receive two intravenous lines as part of routine care. Those who participate in the study will be asked to rate how painful this insertion was on a scale from one to ten. The participants will then be randomly assigned to receive either magnesium or a saltwater solution through a 100 ml drip, which is administered after the baby is born. Neither participants nor the clinical staff will know which solution has been given, and no blood samples will be collected. After the procedure, participants will be asked several times about their pain level. During the first three days after the operation, each participant will receive one text message per day with a short questionnaire about their pain, general recovery, and early bonding with their newborn. Fourteen days after the operation, and again three months later, they will receive additional questionnaires similar to the earlier ones. Each questionnaire takes approximately five to seven minutes to complete, and no extra hospital visits are required. Magnesium can cause side effects, but the risks associated with the dose used in the study are low. The most common side effect is a brief burning sensation at the infusion site, which is not harmful. Magnesium is widely used in medical care, including in pregnant patients, and the study team considers the treatment safe. Because the medication is administered after birth, it does not affect the baby and does not increase risks during breastfeeding. All collected information will be handled securely and confidentially. Data will be coded so that individual participants cannot be directly identified, and only the research team will have access to the key linking codes to individuals. Participants have the right to access their data, request corrections, ask for deletion of their information, or limit how their data is used. The study has been approved by the Swedish Ethical Review Authority, and results will be published in a scientific journal without identifying any participant. No financial compensation is provided, but participants are covered by the usual patient and medication insurance. To ensure that the study is conducted correctly, authorized monitors or authorities may compare study data with medical records. These individuals must sign confidentiality agreements. By giving consent to participate, individuals allow this review. All data will be stored according to legal archiving requirements. Participation in the study is completely voluntary. Individuals may withdraw at any time, and if they do, their collected data will be deleted. Their medical care before, during, and after the operation will not be affected by their decision to participate or withdraw.

Magnesium Sulfate for Prevention of Emergence Agitation in Lumbar Disc Surgery

This randomized, double-blind, controlled trial investigates the effect of intraoperative magnesium sulfate infusion on the incidence of postoperative emergence agitation in adult patients undergoing elective lumbar microdiscectomy under general anesthesia. Eligible participants (ASA physical status I-II, aged 18-70 years) will be randomly assigned to receive either magnesium sulfate or 0.9% saline during surgery. The primary outcome is the incidence of emergence agitation in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), assessed at admission and at 5, 10, 15, and 30 minutes using the Ramsay Sedation Scale. Secondary outcomes include postoperative pain scores (Numeric Rating Scale), intraoperative remifentanil consumption, recovery and extubation times, tramadol use in the PACU, and any adverse events related to magnesium infusion.

Anesthesia Techniques, Neuroprotection and Surgical Field in FESS Under Controlled Hypotension

This prospective, randomized controlled trial investigates the effect of four different anesthetic maintenance techniques on surgical field conditions, hemodynamic stability, and neuroprotection during functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) performed under controlled hypotension. Patients are randomly assigned to receive either total intravenous anesthesia with propofol-remifentanil, propofol-remifentanil with adjunct ketamine and magnesium, sevoflurane-remifentanil, or sevoflurane-remifentanil with adjunct ketamine and magnesium. Primary outcomes include serum biomarkers of neuronal injury (S100B and neuron-specific enolase, NSE) measured perioperatively, as well as surgical field visibility and intraoperative bleeding scores. Secondary outcomes include recovery profile and postoperative pain.

Intraoperative Combination of Ketamine and Magnesium Sulfate Infusions on Postoperative Analgesia in Open Rhinoplasty

The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of intraoperative combination of ketamine and magnesium sulfate infusions on postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing open rhinoplasty.

Magnesium Sulfate and Postoperative Hypercoagulability in Laparoscopic Gynecological Surgeries

This will be a prospective randomized, double-blind study, aiming at investigating the effects of magnesium sulfate on postoperative hypercoagulability in patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecological surgeries under general anesthesia

Comparative Study Between Intrathecal Magnesium Sulfate, Neostigmine and Fentanyl as Adjuvant for Bubivacaine in Postoperative Analgesia in Lower Abdominal Surgeries

Lower abdominal surgeries often result in severe pain, which in turn can cause rapid and shallow breathing, retention of secretions and poor patient compliance. Justifiably, apart from the fear for the surgery outcome, patients are concerned mainly with postoperative pain. If treated inadequately, acute pain can have serious consequences for patient health mainly with postoperative complications, prolonged recovery and increased length of hospital stay. Higher levels of postoperative pain and pain distress are associated with increased morbidity, poorer functional recovery, and reduced quality of life. Aim of the study To compare the duration, quality of analgesia, and side effects between intrathecal Magnesium sulfate, neostigmine and fentanyl as adjuvant for bubivacaine as postoperative analgesia in lower abdominal surgeries
