Magnesium drip to reduce pain in ICU trauma patients
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a magnesium infusion can better control pain in adults who have serious injuries and need intensive care. It compares magnesium as part of pain treatment to standard pain care to see if pain improves and stays controlled.

This trial tests adding magnesium sulfate to standard sedation medicine (ketamine) during painful burn dressing changes in children. It may help reduce pain and the amount of sedation needed.
This trial tests whether giving magnesium as part of a standard hospital protocol can lower the risk of irregular heartbeat and improve survival in patients admitted to the intensive care unit.
This trial tests whether giving magnesium sulfate (a mineral given through an IV) soon after a moderate head injury can reduce swelling and inflammation in the brain. It may help improve recovery by calming the brain's immune response.
This trial tests whether an IV magnesium injection can quickly reduce severe period pain. If you have very painful periods without other underlying conditions, this study may help find better relief options.
This trial tests whether giving magnesium sulfate through a vein in the emergency room can reduce sudden (non-injury) acute headaches compared with a placebo. It may help people whose headache comes on suddenly and is not caused by an injury.
This trial tests if giving magnesium sulfate early after a traumatic brain bleed can reduce blood vessel spasms in the brain. It may help prevent further damage after a head injury.
