First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether giving magnesium through a vein can prevent or reduce bladder spasms after urologic surgery. About 120 adults having bladder procedures will receive either magnesium or a placebo. Researchers will compare how many people in each group have spasms and how severe they are.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Magnesium (intravenous)
- What this could lead to
- If effective, magnesium could offer a simple, low-cost option to prevent or reduce painful bladder spasms after urologic surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small Phase 2 trial, so results may not be conclusive. Magnesium may not work better than placebo, and side effects like low blood pressure or nausea are possible.

Inclusion Criteria: \- Be undergoing a bladder invasive procedure with or without planned urinary catheter on Mayo Clinic Gonda 7 Outpatient Procedure Center. Exclusion Criteria: * Are unable to grant informed consent or comply with study procedure. * Allergy or known sensitivity to magnesium or Renacidin. * Expected or high risk of bladder extravasation. * Ongoing atrial fibrillation prior to surgery. * Are undergoing emergency surgery. * Are pregnant. * Known hypermagnesemia. * Patients with neuromuscular weakness (e.g., Myasthenia gravis) due to magnesium's muscle weakening effect. * Patients with myocardial compromise or cardiac conduction defects because of magnesium's anti-inotropic effects. * Patients with renal insufficiency, glomerular filtration rate less than 30, since Magnesium is eliminated by the kidneys resulting in exaggerated rise in serum magnesium. * Patients with concomitant use of a calcium channel blocker since magnesium sulfate could act synergistically to suppress muscular contractility.
