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.

Pain relief achieved
A remarkable complex of minerals! At 39, I had severe knee pain from walking, but after a month of taking this, the pain vanished completely! I continue to take courses, drinking it for a month with breaks, and I wish to help others with my honest feedback.

For the price, these vitamins are very effective. After starting my jogging routine, I experienced knee pain, but it disappeared after taking these pills, which clearly absorbed well. I'll continue to order more.

Calcium injection aids knee function
Total Knee Conversion Rates and Functional Outcome After Calcium Phosphate Injection for Bone Marrow Lesions of the Knee.
Highly relevant for knee pain
We explored how calcium phosphate (CaP) injections impact knee pain, particularly in patients suffering from osteoarthritis-related bone marrow lesions (OA-BML). In this study, we compared two groups of patients: those who received knee arthroscopy combined with CaP injections and those who had knee arthroscopy for different knee issues.

Our observations showed that patients receiving the CaP injections experienced less frequent conversions to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) when compared to the other group. Notably, within the CaP group, we noticed a significant improvement in their knee injury and functional outcome scores before and after the procedure. However, patients who only underwent knee arthroscopy did not show the same level of improvement.

Overall, we found that adding CaP injections during knee surgery for OA-BML significantly enhanced functional outcomes over traditional surgery alone. This study underscores the potential benefits of CaP treatments in managing knee pain and improving quality of life for those suffering from knee OA.

Vitamin D alleviates knee pain
Vitamin D reduces pain and cartilage destruction in knee osteoarthritis animals through inhibiting the matrix metalloprotease (MMPs) expression.
Strong relevance to knee OA
We focused on the effects of vitamin D (VITD) in reducing knee pain linked to osteoarthritis (OA) using a study conducted on Wistar rats. The rats were induced with OA through a combination of surgical methods known as ACLT (anterior cruciate ligament transection) along with medial meniscectomy. This allowed us to closely observe the direct impact of VITD on pain levels and cartilage health.

Our investigations revealed that VITD not only alleviated pain but also minimized cartilage destruction. We measured pain severity through various tests, examined knee structure through histopathological studies, and analyzed different biological markers including inflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which are linked to cartilage degradation.

The results were quite promising. Not only did VITD show a significant reduction in pain, but it also decreased inflammation and the destruction of chondrocytes, or cartilage cells. These benefits appear to stem from VITD's ability to lower the expression of MMPs, which are known contributors to cartilage breakdown in OA.

Overall, our findings strongly suggest that adding vitamin D to treatment regimens could be beneficial for those suffering from knee pain related to osteoarthritis, making it a potential ally in managing this common joint condition.

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.
