Could a single magnesium dose tame Surgery's blood pressure swings?
NCT ID NCT07079514
First seen Sep 02, 2026 · Last updated Sep 03, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether giving magnesium sulphate before laparoscopic gallbladder surgery can prevent the sharp rises in blood pressure and heart rate caused by inflating the abdomen with gas. Researchers will compare 30 patients who receive magnesium with 30 who receive a placebo, measuring vital signs during surgery and tracking pain, opioid use, and nausea afterward. The goal is to see if this simple drug can make the procedure safer and recovery more comfortable.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Magnesium sulphate given as an intravenous dose before surgery
- What this could lead to
- If it works, magnesium sulphate could become a standard add-on during laparoscopic surgery to keep blood pressure steady and reduce pain, opioid use, and nausea afterward.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early, small trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Magnesium can cause low blood pressure or heart rhythm issues, and people with certain conditions are excluded.
