Arms & Interventions
Treatment
Receiving Magnesium Sulfate
Intervention: Magnesium Sulfate (Drug)
Placebo
Receiving Dextrose 5% in Water (D5W)
Intervention: D5W (Drug)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Pain Score Change
Time Frame: 1 hour after the completion of treatment medication (Placebo or Study Drug)
We asked the patient's pain score on a scale of 0-10 with 10 being the highest amount of pain and 0 no pain, before and after treatment (approximately 1 hour). Primary Outcome was the change in score before and after treatment.
Secondary Outcomes
- Percentage of Participants Requiring Opiates for Additional Pain Control(Any opiate administration required after re-evaluation of pain score after initial treatment with either placebo or study drug)
