Testing magnesium vs. dexmedetomidine for brain oxygen during surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two medicines, magnesium sulfate and dexmedetomidine, to see which one helps keep oxygen levels in the brain more stable while you are under anesthesia for surgery.

This study compares two drugs, dexmedetomidine and magnesium sulfate, given during planned brain surgery (craniotomy) to see which works better. It may help reduce complications and improve recovery.
This study compares two types of intravenous anesthesia (with magnesium or dexmedetomidine) during lower back surgeries. It aims to find which approach works better for recovery.
This study tests whether adding two drugs, dexmedetomidine and magnesium sulfate, during anesthesia can help older adults keep their thinking and memory sharp after open abdominal surgery. It aims to reduce the risk of confusion or memory problems that sometimes happen 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 compares two medicines added to spinal anesthesia during hip surgery to see which provides better pain relief and recovery. It may help if you are having a DHS procedure and want to explore options for your anesthesia care.
This trial compares two medicines (dexmedetomidine and labetalol) to see which one better controls stress on the airway during brain surgery in people with high blood pressure. The goal is to find a safer way to manage your heart rate and blood pressure while you are under anesthesia.
