First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether inhaling magnesium sulfate before surgery could reduce sore throat and stress caused by breathing tubes. One hundred adults having gallbladder surgery were included. Researchers measured sore throat at several time points and checked heart rate, blood pressure, and blood sugar to see if stress improved.

- magnesium sulfate
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to reduce sore throat and stress after anesthesia.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with no phase designation, so results may not apply broadly. Magnesium sulfate can cause side effects like low blood pressure or allergic reactions.
