Magnesium for Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT04638881
Purpose
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.
Official Title
