Magnesium before surgery to reduce muscle relaxation side effects
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 60 years old
- Be having planned (elective) ENT surgery
- Have a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9
- Be otherwise healthy for anesthesia (ASA 1 or 2)
- Not be pregnant (or possibly pregnant)

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.
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 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 a low dose of magnesium sulfate can help during nose or sinus surgery. It may reduce pain or side effects.
This trial tests if a mist of magnesium sulfate given before surgery can lower the body's stress reaction to having a breathing tube placed. It is for people having planned gallbladder removal by laparoscopy (small incisions).
This study tests if giving magnesium sulfate or lidocaine through a vein during tonsillectomy surgery can prevent a throat muscle spasm (laryngospasm) and reduce pain medicine needs. It is for children in good general health having their tonsils removed.
