Magnesium with numbing medicine for breast cancer surgery pain
Treatments studied
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 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 tests whether adding magnesium to a numbing nerve block can reduce pain after breast removal surgery. It compares the standard block with one that includes magnesium, looking at both short-term and long-term pain relief.
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 sulfate to a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) can provide better pain relief after hip replacement surgery. The medicine is given as a shot in the back near the hip muscles.
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.
This trial compares two drugs added to a standard numbing medicine to see which works better for pain relief after chest surgery (thoracotomy). It may help find a way to reduce pain more effectively.
