Study Details

Study Description

Brief 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.

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.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase

Detailed Description

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.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Adult chronic pain patients

Cohort of adult chronic pain patients, undergoing interventional injection therapy for pain management at a Canadian pain clinic

Drug: Magnesium
Magnesium injection therapy
Other Names:
  • Magnesium injection
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Pain score, objective measurement using the validated Numeric Pain Rating scale [12 weeks]

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

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Sleep quality score, objective measurement using the validated Likert sleep scale [12 weeks]

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