Magnesium plus bupivacaine nerve block for less pain after cancer surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding magnesium sulfate to a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) in a nerve block can reduce the need for strong painkillers after surgery for upper abdominal cancer. It aims to improve pain control and reduce side effects from opioids.

This study tests whether adding magnesium to the standard numbing medicine injected into the wound during breast cancer surgery can better control pain after the operation. It may help reduce the need for strong painkillers and improve recovery.
This study compares two different medications (dexamethasone and magnesium) added to a standard painkiller used in a nerve block for patients having one kidney removed. The goal is to find out which combination provides better pain relief after surgery.
This trial tests if adding magnesium sulfate to a nerve block can improve pain control after mastectomy. It is for women with non-metastatic breast cancer who are scheduled for a modified radical mastectomy.
This study compares three different medications (magnesium, neostigmine, or fentanyl) added to the spinal anesthetic to improve pain control after lower abdominal surgery. The goal is to find out which one works best and lasts longest.
