This study compares two doses of intravenous (IV) magnesium to see which is more effective at relieving acute headache pain in the emergency department. It aims to provide a fast and effective treatment option for migraine, tension-type, or cluster headaches.
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 early after a traumatic brain injury can prevent blood vessels in the brain from tightening (a condition called vasospasm), which can reduce blood flow and cause further damage. If you've had a head injury with bleeding around the brain, this treatment might help improve your recovery.
This study tests whether giving magnesium sulfate (a common mineral supplement) soon after a moderate head injury can reduce brain swelling and inflammation. It aims to see if this treatment helps protect the brain and improve recovery.
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 if adding magnesium to a standard migraine medication (prochlorperazine) helps treat migraines more effectively. It could be a good option for adults with migraines who haven't taken these drugs recently.
