Trial summary

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is commonly accompanied in patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia. The patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecologic surgery have multiple risk factors for developing PONV such as female gender, nonsmoker, postoperative opioids, and laparoscopic surgery.

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Intravenous Magnesium Sulfate on Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Gynecologic Surgery

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is commonly accompanied in patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia. The patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecologic surgery have multiple risk factors for developing PONV such as female gender, nonsmoker, postoperative opioids, and laparoscopic surgery. Thus, it is important to prevent PONV in these patients.

Read the detailed description

Magnesium is a N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonist that is known to be effective in reducing opioid consumption and controlling postoperative pain. This opioid reducing effect can be associated with reduction of the incidence of PONV. However, the effect of magnesium on preventing PONV have not been investigated before. Thus, the investigators hypothesized that intraoperative infusion of magnesium will be effective in preventing PONV in patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecologic surgery.

Being tested
Mg (magnesium sulfate), Control (saline)

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Mg (magnesium sulfate)Drug

    Also called Masi

    20mg/kg of magnesium sulfate will be infused after induction of anesthesia. And magnesium sulfated will be continuously infused at a rate of 15mg/kg/h during the operation.

  • Control (saline)Drug

    Also called Normal saline

    The same volume of normal saline will be infused after induction of anesthesia and continuously infused at the same rate of magnesium.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Mg (magnesium sulfate) in people with Gynecologic Disease, run by Gangnam Severance Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Oct 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The incidence of PONV (time frame: up to postoperative 2 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Oct 2018.
