Magnesium's hidden impact on surgery nerve tests revealed
NCT ID NCT04938765
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
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 brain and spine. About 50 adults having spine or brain surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either magnesium or a placebo (salt water). The goal is to see if magnesium alters the electrical signals from nerves, which could affect how surgeons interpret these tests.
