First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests three common drugs—dexmedetomidine, magnesium sulfate, and ondansetron—to see which one stops shivering fastest after spinal anesthesia. Sixty adults having lower body surgery will receive one of the drugs, and researchers will measure how quickly shivering stops and whether it returns. The goal is to find a safe, effective option to improve patient comfort after surgery.
