Magnesium-Rich diet may prevent chemo side effect in ovarian cancer
NCT ID NCT04310826
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether eating a diet high in magnesium can help prevent low blood magnesium levels in women with ovarian cancer who are receiving carboplatin chemotherapy. Low magnesium is a common side effect of this treatment. The study enrolled 26 participants and will measure how well they stick to the diet and whether it reduces the need for magnesium supplements.
