Summary
This study tested whether adding magnesium sulfate or dexmedetomidine to a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) improves pain control after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. 63 adults having elective surgery received one of three mixtures in a nerve block. The goal was to see which combination provides better pain relief for the first 24 hours after surgery.
