A Prospective, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Trial of the Effects of Magnesium Sulfate on Postoperative Esophageal Spasm-associated Pain Following Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Magnesium sulfate and Normal Saline for Esophageal Spasm. Completed, enrolled 92 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Postoperative pain after peroral endoscopic myotomy occurs due to involuntary esophageal smooth muscle spasms. Magnesium has antispasmodic properties as a smooth muscle relaxant. This study hypothesizes that among patients having peroral endoscopic myotomy, magnesium will decrease postoperative esophgeal pain as measured by the esophageal symptoms questionnaire, while decreasing perioperative opioid requirements.
