Magnesium before surgery in children to reduce complications
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 2 to 12 years old
- Have planned (elective) laparoscopic abdominal surgery
- Be medically well enough for anesthesia (an ASA rating of 1 or 2)
- Not have a known allergy to any study medicines
- Not have kidney or liver problems
- Have normal magnesium levels (not too high or too low)

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 trial tests if adding magnesium sulfate to a standard muscle relaxant (atracurium) improves local anesthesia for cataract surgery. It may help patients stay comfortable during the procedure.
This trial tests if magnesium sulfate can help children recover better after laparoscopic appendix removal. It aims to see if it reduces pain or other problems during and after surgery.
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.
This trial tests if giving magnesium through the mouth works as well as through the vein to prevent confusion or agitation right after surgery in children having their tonsils out. It aims to find a simpler way to help kids wake up calmly.
This trial tests whether a single dose of magnesium (given through an IV before surgery) can reduce the need for painkillers after gallbladder removal surgery. If you are a healthy adult getting this surgery, you may experience less pain and use fewer pain medications.
