About this trial

This prospective, randomized, double-blind clinical trial aims to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of intravenous magnesium sulfate in women presenting to the emergency department with acute dysmenorrhea. Participants will be randomized into two groups receiving either 2 ampoules of magnesium sulfate or intravenous dexketoprofen. Pain levels will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) before and after treatment.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Change in pain intensity measured by Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

Pain severity will be assessed using the 0-10 Visual Analog Scale (VAS) before treatment and 1 hour post-treatment. The study will evaluate and compare the analgesic effect of two different doses of intravenous magnesium sulfate (2 ampoules vs. 3 ampoules) and compare both to intravenous dexketoprofen in women presenting with acute dysmenorrhea.

Time frame
