NCT04638881

Brief 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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Esophageal Symptoms Questionnaire Score (ESQ)

    ESQ score is a validated survey score based on questions evaluating esophageal dysphagia, globus, and reflux. Participants answer 11 questions, each rated on a scale of 1 (Not severe) to 7 (Very severe). Scores were summed for an overall score (range 11 to 77, higher scores indicate more severe dysphagia).

    0 hours postoperatively

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Esophageal Symptoms Questionnaire Score (ESQ)

    24 hours postoperatively

  • Postoperative Opioid Consumption

    From extubation to 24 hours after extubation

  • Postoperative Day 1 Opioid Consumption

    From 24 hours after extubation to 48 hours after extubation

  • Average Visual Acuity Score Pain Score in Postanesthesia Care Unit

    From extubation to discharge from postanesthesia care unit (up to 4 hours)

Study Arms (2)

Magnesium sulfate 50 mg/kg bolus + 25 mg/kg/hr infusion

EXPERIMENTAL

Bolus to be administered at start of mucosal incision, followed by infusion. Infusion to be terminated at extubation.

Drug: Magnesium sulfate

Normal saline 0.9% 50 mg/kg bolus + 25 mg/kg/hr infusion

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Bolus to be administered at start of mucosal incision, followed by infusion. Infusion to be terminated at extubation.

Drug: Normal Saline

Interventions

Magnesium infusion 50 mg/kg bolus over 15 minutes and 25 mg/kg/hr infusion, both administered intraoperatively under general anesthesia.

Magnesium sulfate 50 mg/kg bolus + 25 mg/kg/hr infusion

Placebo. Bolus and infusion administered similarly under general anesthesia.

Normal saline 0.9% 50 mg/kg bolus + 25 mg/kg/hr infusion
