Magnesium before surgery to improve nerve monitoring
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving a one-time magnesium dose (through an IV) before or during surgery changes how well doctors can monitor nerves while you’re under anesthesia. It may help make nerve monitoring more reliable during spine or brain operations.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You are having planned (elective) spine or brain surgery with nerve monitoring planned
- You have not taken magnesium (IV or supplements) in the last 2 days
- Your recent blood tests are in the normal range for sodium, potassium, and magnesium
- You do not have serious heart rhythm/conduction problems, severe lung disease, or severe kidney disease
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and doctors can get a good starting nerve test before surgery

This study tests if giving magnesium sulfate during back surgery can help prevent confusion or agitation when waking up from anesthesia. It may help you feel calmer and more comfortable after your procedure.
This trial compares two medicines, ciprofol and remimazolam, to see which works better for keeping you asleep during spine surgery while allowing doctors to monitor your nerves.
This study compares three different medications (magnesium, neostigmine, or fentanyl) added to the spinal anesthetic to improve pain control after lower abdominal surgery. The goal is to find out which one works best and lasts longest.
This trial tests whether giving magnesium sulfate before elective ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgery can change how much your muscles relax during anesthesia. It may help doctors find a smoother, safer balance of muscle relaxation for some patients.
This study tests if giving magnesium during open thoracolumbar fusion surgery (a type of back surgery) affects nerve monitoring. It might help find the right dose for patients while keeping their nerves safe.
This study tests whether giving magnesium before planned (elective) keyhole abdominal surgery can improve outcomes in children. It may help reduce problems related to anesthesia and muscle function during and after surgery.
