First seen Apr 29, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study looks at whether magnesium sulfate, a common pain medicine given during surgery, changes the results of nerve monitoring tests used to protect the spinal cord and brain. About 50 adults having spine or brain surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either magnesium sulfate or a placebo (salt water). Researchers will measure nerve signals before and after the drug is given to see if there is a difference.
