Summary

This study tests whether giving magnesium during back surgery can reduce the confusion and agitation some patients feel when waking up. 70 adults having a single-level lumbar microdiscectomy will receive either magnesium or a placebo. Researchers will monitor agitation, pain, and recovery times in the recovery room.
