NCT ID NCT07478055
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 10, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study looks at how blood test results change after delivery in people with severe preeclampsia. Participants are randomly assigned to receive magnesium for either 12 or 24 hours after birth. The goal is to see if a shorter treatment is safe and effective, and to understand how quickly the body recovers. About 100 people will take part, and they will have a few extra blood draws during their hospital stay.
