Could a simple mineral stop Kids' Post-Surgery delirium?
NCT ID NCT07655817
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving magnesium before surgery can reduce emergence delirium—a state of confusion and agitation—in children aged 4 to 7 after adenotonsillectomy. Half the children receive magnesium by mouth before surgery, half receive it through an IV during surgery, and all are compared to a placebo group. The goal is to see which method works better and if magnesium can make recovery smoother and less distressing.
