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 trial tests whether giving magnesium sulfate before or during back surgery helps prevent 'emergence agitation' (a state of confusion or restlessness when waking up from anesthesia). It might help you recover more smoothly from your lumbar disc surgery.
This study tests two anesthetic medications, ciprofol and remimazolam, during spinal surgery with nerve monitoring. It aims to find which one allows clearer nerve signals, which may improve safety and outcomes.
This study tests whether adding magnesium, neostigmine, or fentanyl to the standard spinal anesthetic improves pain relief after lower abdominal surgery. Participants will receive one of these add-ons to see which works best.
This study tests whether giving magnesium during a planned cesarean section helps reduce pain after surgery, potentially reducing the need for other pain medicines.
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.
