About this study

Official title: 12-hour Versus 24-hour Postpartum Magnesium Sulphate for Preeclamptic Patients :A Randomized Controlled Trial

To compare the use of magnesium sulfate for 12 hours versus 24 hours in postpartum women with pre-eclampsia with severe features , to ensure maximum efficacy of anticonvulsant action that can be achieved with least exposure to Mgso4 side effects.

Read the detailed description

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy constitute one of the leading causes of maternal and perinatal mortality worldwide. It has been estimated that preeclampsia complicates 2-8% of pregnancies globally.

Preeclampsia is a disorder of pregnancy associated with new-onset hypertension, which occurs most often after 20 weeks of gestation and frequently near term. Although often accompanied by new-onset proteinuria, hypertension and other signs or symptoms of preeclampsia may present in some women in the absence of proteinuria. Recently preeclampsia is divided into preeclampsia with severe features, preeclampsia without severe, features. One of serious complication of preeclampsia is occurrence of eclampsia. Eclampsia refers to the occurrence of new-onset, generalized, tonic-clonic seizures or coma in a woman with preeclampsia. Eclampsia can be prevented with magnesium sulphate, which decreases the risk of seizures by 50%, paralleled by a reduction in maternal mortality. It is considered as the gold standard of management of eclampsia Although magnesium sulphate administration is recommended for all women with severe preeclampsia, consensus has not yet to be reached on the ideal duration of prophylactic postpartum anticonvulsant therapy. The use of magnesium sulphate has been recommended for 24 hours following delivery, the period of greatest risk for the occurrence of eclampsia. There are other regimen 12-hour, 6-hour Use of magnesium sulphate therapy is not without complications, consequently longer duration therapy possesses the risk of magnesium toxicity such as respiratory depression, renal and neuromuscular dysfunction. Risks of these complications require regular supervision; hence it is particularly important to assess the minimum effective duration of treatment

Being tested
Magnesium sulfate for 12 hour, Magnesium sulfate for 24 hour

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Magnesium sulfate for 12 hour and Magnesium sulfate for 24 hour in people with Maternal Care Patterns, run by Assiut University at 2 sites in Egypt.

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 3 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record lists 2 sites in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Need to prolong treatment (time frame: up to 12 hour). 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 Sep 2023.
