Can magnesium affect nerve monitoring during back surgery?
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests if giving magnesium during open thoracolumbar fusion surgery (a type of back surgery) affects nerve monitoring. It might help find the right dose for patients while keeping their nerves safe.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years of age or older.
- You are scheduled for open thoracolumbar fusion (a type of back surgery on your mid- to lower spine).
- Your surgery will use neuromonitoring to watch your nerves during the operation.
- You do not have a history of serious heart disease, such as very weak heart pumping, a heart block without a pacemaker, or a significant irregular heartbeat.
- You do not have kidney disease (GFR less than 30) or liver cirrhosis.
- You are not allergic or sensitive to magnesium, and you do not have a neuromuscular disease like myasthenia gravis.

This study tests if giving ketamine during certain back surgeries affects how well doctors can monitor your spinal nerves during the operation. It's for adults having a posterior spinal fusion.
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 whether giving magnesium sulfate before or during back surgery helps prevent 'emergence agitation' (a state of confusion or restlessness when waking up from anesthesia). It might help you recover more smoothly from your lumbar disc surgery.
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 study compares two types of anesthesia given through a vein during lumbar spine surgery, one using a drug called magnesium and the other using a drug called dexmedetomidine. It aims to see which one provides better anesthesia and pain control with fewer side effects.
This study tests whether adding magnesium sulfate to the standard nerve block can improve pain relief after shoulder arthroscopy. It aims to reduce pain and improve recovery after surgery.
