Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Ninety patients 20-60 yr old American Society of Anesthesiologists ( ASA) physical status I or II, scheduled for femur surgery under spinal anesthesia, were studied in a prospective, double-blinded, randomized way. The patients were randomly allocated to one of three groups of 30 each. The magnesium group (groupM) received bupivacaine 15mg combined with 0.5ml magnesium 10%,The fentanyl group (group F) received bupivacaine 15mg combined with0.5 ml fentanyl[25microgram] and The placebo group (group P) received bupivacaine 15mg combined with 0.5ml distilled water(intrathecally) for each three groups 5 minutes prior to surgery)

Purpose of the study
Prevention
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Enrollment is decided and permission of the patient is obtained by two of the anesthesiologists during preoperative rounding,.This is a double blinded clinical trial, with blinding of both the patient and the administrating practitioner to the anaesthetic type. Allocation will be managed by a Resident external to the project. The blinding will occur through use of equal amounts of pretreatment drugs (3.5ml’s) Each syringe will be labeled A ,B,C according to its contents. . The drug syringes are handed over to anesthesiologists blinded to the patient allocation to carry out the spinal of anesthesia
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Randomization was based on computer-generated codes
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)

Summary
Brief summary
Objective :Magnesium has been suggested that NMDA (N-methyl D-aspartate)receptor antagonists induce preemptive analgesia when administrated before tissue injury occurs, thus decreasing the subsequent sensation of pain.
Methods:Following Ethics Committee approval and informed patients consent, Ninety patients 20-60 yr old ASA physical status I or II, scheduled for femur surgery under spinal anesthesia, were studied in a prospective, double-blinded, randomized way. The patients were randomly allocated to one of three groups of 30 each. The magnesium group (groupM) received bupivacaine 15mg combined with 0.5ml magnesium 10%,the fentanyl group (group F) received bupivacaine 15mg combined with0.5 ml fentanyl[25microgram] and the placebo group (group P) received bupivacaine 15mg combined with 0.5ml distilled water intrathecally . Time to first requirement of analgesic supplement, Sensory block onset time, maximum sensory level , onset of motor block, duration of blockade, hemodynamics variables, the incidence of hypotension, ephedrine requirements, bradycardia ,hypoxemia [Saturation of peripheral oxygen (SpO2)<90], postoperative analgesic requirements and Adverse events, such as sedation, dizziness , Pruritus and postoperative nausea and vomiting were recorded. Patients were instructed preoperatively in the use of the verbal rating scale (VRS) from 0 to 10 (0no pain, 10maximum imaginable pain) for pain assessment. If the VRS exceeded four and the patient requested a supplement analgesic, methadon5 mg intravenously , was to be given for post-operative pain relief as needed .
