Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patients with ASA physical status III and above; patients undergoing emergency surgeries; patients with known hypersensitivity or contraindication to magnesium sulphate; patients with pre-existing neuromuscular or musculoskeletal disorders; patients receiving calcium channel blockers; patients with severe renal, hepatic, cardiac or respiratory disease; patients who have received analgesics within 24 hours prior to surgery.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Incidence and severity of postoperative myalgia, assessed up to 24 hours after surgery using White s four-point grading scale (0 3).Timepoint: Post-operative period (0, 6, 12 and 24 hours)
