Pain relief after hysterectomy: comparing two magnesium methods
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests two ways of giving magnesium (a mineral that can help with pain) during surgery to remove the uterus. One method is a shot into the spinal fluid, and the other is through an IV. The goal is to see which method reduces pain after the surgery.
