Magnesium for pain control during pediatric burn dressing changes
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving magnesium sulfate through an IV can improve pain control and sedation during dressing changes for children with burns. It may help reduce the amount of ketamine needed and make the procedure more comfortable.

This trial tests whether a magnesium infusion can better control pain in adults who have serious injuries and need intensive care. It compares magnesium as part of pain treatment to standard pain care to see if pain improves and stays controlled.
This trial tests if magnesium sulfate can help children recover better after laparoscopic appendix removal. It aims to see if it reduces pain or other problems during and after 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 trial tests if giving magnesium sulfate through an IV helps children with moderate to severe asthma attacks in the emergency department. If your child is between 2 and 17 years old and still has trouble breathing after three puffs of standard asthma medicine, this study may be an option.
This trial tests whether giving magnesium sulfate during heart surgery can help reduce complications for children who need a heart-lung machine. It might help your child recover better after surgery.
This study tests two different sedation medicine combinations to see which one reduces confusion and agitation (called delirium) when children with burn injuries need procedures done. The goal is to find the safest, most comfortable option for your child during treatment.
