NCT ID NCT07451327
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether adding magnesium sulphate to the standard painkiller bupivacaine improves pain control after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Sixty-eight adults undergoing the surgery received either the combination or bupivacaine alone. The goal was to see if the mixture reduces pain, cuts the need for extra painkillers, and shortens hospital stays.
