Magnesium for pain after gallbladder surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a single dose of magnesium (given through an IV before surgery) can reduce the need for painkillers after gallbladder removal surgery. If you are a healthy adult getting this surgery, you may experience less pain and use fewer pain medications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
