Magnesium sulfate alleviates postoperative pain
Effects of magnesium sulfate on periarticular infiltration analgesia in total knee arthroplasty: a prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trial.
High relevance for knee surgery.
We explored the impact of magnesium sulfate on managing pain following total knee arthroplasty. In a randomized, double-blind trial with 90 patients, half received a blend of analgesics that included magnesium sulfate, while the other half did not.

Following surgery, the results showed that magnesium sulfate helped prolong pain relief and reduced the need for opioids. Patients receiving it experienced less postoperative pain and moved towards recovery more effectively.

Overall, adding magnesium sulfate appears beneficial for postoperative knee pain management.

Magnesium aids postoperative pain relief
Adductor Canal Blocks With Bupivacaine and Magnesium After Same-day Discharge Total Knee Arthroplasty Improve Postoperative Pain Relief and Decrease Opioid Consumption: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial.
Highly relevant to pain management
We explored the role of magnesium in reducing knee pain following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). In a study involving 119 adults, participants received either an adductor canal block with magnesium and bupivacaine or just bupivacaine.

Those who received magnesium reported significantly lower pain scores and reduced opioid usage in the days after surgery, without experiencing an uptick in nausea or dissatisfaction. This suggests that adding magnesium to local anesthesia could enhance pain management for TKA patients, promoting a smoother recovery.

Magnesium reduces postoperative knee pain
Magnesium sulphate attenuates acute postoperative pain and increased pain intensity after surgical injury in staged bilateral total knee arthroplasty: a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial.
High relevance for pain management.
We evaluated the impact of magnesium sulphate on pain levels for 44 patients undergoing staged bilateral total knee arthroplasty.

In this study, the magnesium group received magnesium sulphate while the control group received isotonic saline during their surgeries.

Our findings showed that those who received magnesium experienced significantly lower pain scores compared to the control group, both after their first and second surgeries.

Importantly, magnesium also helped reduce the need for additional pain relief medications in the days following surgery.

Magnesium and bupivacaine effective
Intra-Articular Magnesium Plus Bupivacaine Is the Most Effective and Safe Postoperative Analgesic Option Following Knee Arthroscopy: A Network Meta-analysis.
High relevance for postoperative pain.
We evaluated how effective magnesium, especially when combined with bupivacaine, is for managing knee pain after arthroscopy. Our study looked at data from 78 randomized trials involving 4,425 participants.

It turns out that magnesium with bupivacaine is the top performer in easing pain right after surgery and at the 24-hour mark, outperforming other analgesics like morphine.

However, magnesium alone didn’t show significant pain relief. We found that using this combination does not lead to more side effects, making it a safe choice for recovery.

Magnesium reduces post-surgery pain
Efficacy and safety of an intra-operative intra-articular magnesium/ropivacaine injection for pain control following total knee arthroplasty.
High relevance to pain management
We looked into how magnesium can help ease knee pain after total knee arthroplasty. In a study of 80 patients, those who received an injection of magnesium sulfate and ropivacaine experienced significantly less pain and needed less morphine compared to those who got a saline injection. This approach not only reduced morphine use in the first 48 hours but also allowed patients to regain movement quicker. Overall, our findings suggest that magnesium may be a beneficial part of pain management in knee surgery.
