Study aim
-
Comparing the anti-inflammatory effect of magnesium + intravenous ketamine versus intravenous ketamine in the control of acute limb fracture pain
-
Design
-
A clinical trial with case and control groups, with parallel groups, triple blind, randomized, phase 3 on 180 patients. A table of random numbers is used for randomization.
-
Settings and conduct
-
A triple blinded and randomized clinical trial study was conducted in the emergency department of Golestan Hospital. Neither the intervening operator nor the patient nor the person analyzing the results will know the type of intervention.
-
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-
Inclusion criteria: All patients with long bone fractures
Conditions of non-entry: unstable hemodynamics, alcohol consumption, neuromuscular diseases, pregnant and lactating women, high blood pressure , history of benzodiazepine and ketamine use, other medical diseases
-
Intervention groups
-
The patients were randomly divided into two groups: for the first group, magnesium sulfate at a dose of 20 mg/kg + ketamine at a dose of 0.3 mg/kg, the sample volume was reduced to 20 cc of normal saline, diluted and after registration vas scoring is received as a bolus at minute zero (on arrival) and the patient's pain level is recorded at minutes zero, 5, 15, and 30.
For the second group, ketamine alone with a dose of 0.3 mg/kg was diluted to bring the sample volume to 20 cc of normal saline, and after registering the vas scoring at zero minute (on arrival), it was received as a bolus and at minute 0, 5, 15, 30, the pain level of the patient is recorded.

Main outcome variables
-
Examining the pain reduction effect of magnesium together with ketamine compared to ketamine alone in 0, 5, 15 and 30 minutes; Examining the side effects of using ketamine with the mentioned dose; Examining the side effects of taking ketamine with magnesium at the mentioned dose
