About this trial

The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of adding magnesium sulfate to bupivacaine in ultrasound-guided transmuscular quadratus lumborum block for postoperative analgesia in adult patients underdoing hip arthroplasty. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does Magnesium sulphate lower Pain score (VAS) postoperatively. * Does Magnesium sulphate lowerTotal opioid consumption postoperatively. and What side effects do participants have when taking Magnesium sulphate? Researchers will compare Magnesium sulphate to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if Magnesium sulphate works to lower pain score.

Participants will:

* Take with have ultrasound-guided transmuscular quadratus lumborum block after surgery using bupivacaine with Magnesium sulphate or with placebo * Followed up 48 hours postoperatively to monitor pain score or any reported side effect.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

postopeative pain Score

The degree of pain will be assessed after surgery by Visual Analogue Score (score for the severity of pain in the range 0-10, where 0 = no pain and 10 = severe pain) at 6 , 12 , 24 , 48 hours postoperatively.

Time frame
48 hours postoperatively

Secondary outcomes

1

Total opioid consumption

total morphine consumption after surgery

Time frame
48 hours postoperatively
2

Time to first rescue analgsic request

Time frame
48 hours postoperatively
