Trial summary

Steroid injections are used for interventional pain management. However, their side-effect of immunosuppression may increase the risk of infections. Magnesium is an alternative anti-nociceptive injection that may be used instead of steroids. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Magnesium Injection Ensures Analgesia and Steroid Avoidance During Vaccination, Viremia or Immunocompromise

Steroid injections are used for interventional pain management. However, their side-effect of immunosuppression may increase the risk of infections. Magnesium is an alternative anti-nociceptive injection that may be used instead of steroids.

Prospective observational study of patients who received magnesium injection for interventional pain therapy, instead of steroid injection. Post-injection data collection includes numerical rating pain score, and sleep quality score. Pain is measured using the numeric pain rating scale. Sleep score is measured using the Likert sleep scale. A change in the pain or sleep scores by 2-points is considered significant.

Corticosteroid injections are used for interventional pain management. The immunosuppression effect of steroid injection may increase the risk of infections. Magnesium is an alternative anti-nociceptive agent that may be used for interventional pain injection therapy, instead of steroids.

Prospective observational clinical study of pain clinic patients who received magnesium injection for interventional pain therapy, instead of steroid injection. Post-injection data collection includes numerical rating pain score, and sleep quality score. Pain is measured using the numeric pain rating scale. Sleep score is measured using the Likert sleep scale. A change in the pain or sleep scores by 2-points is considered significant. Data analyzed with IBM® SPSS® Statistics 25 (IBM Corp, Armonk, NY); using Student's t-test, ANOVA, Pearson Chi-square test, and regression analysis. P-value <0.05 is considered significant.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Pain score, objective measurement using the validated Numeric Pain Rating scale

    Pain score, using the Numeric Pain Rating scale of 0 to 10, low scores indicate less pain, high scores indicate worse pain

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Sleep quality score, objective measurement using the validated Likert sleep scale

    Sleep quality score, using the Likert sleep scale of 0 to 10, low scores indicate poor sleep, high scores indicate better sleep

    Measured: 12 weeks
