Ropivacaine and magnesium sulfate in sciatic nerve block at the popliteal level: randomized double-blind study
Our results suggest that magnesium added to the local anesthetic extends sensory block duration, reduces postoperative pain, improves the quality of analgesia, decreases the need for additional opioids. Further studies are needed to confirm these preliminary findings.
