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)

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 259181 0
Time to first requirement of analgesic supplement(analgesic administration was initiated by patient request(verbal rating scale[ VRS]>4)
Timepoint [1] 259181 0
time to first requirement of analgesic supplement from the time of injection intrathecal anesthetic solution
Primary outcome [2] 259182 0
postoperative analgesic requirements will be assessed by verbal rating scale (VRS) from 0 to 10 (0no pain, 10maximum imaginable pain)
Timepoint [2] 259182 0
12 hours postoperative (Each administration was initiated by patient request( VRS>4)
Secondary outcome [1] 265531 0
Sensory block onset time will be assessed by a pinprick test
Timepoint [1] 265531 0
The onset of sensory block was defined as the time between the end of injection of the intrathecal anesthetic and the absence of pain at the T10 dermatome(sensory block will be assessed by pinprick test every 10 seconds following intrathecal injection
Secondary outcome [2] 265532 0
duration of sensory block will be assessed by a pinprick test
Timepoint [2] 265532 0
the time for regression of two segments from the maximum block height((sensory block will be assessed by pinprick test every 5 minuts following intrathecal injection
Secondary outcome [3] 265533 0
the onset of motor block will be assessed by the modified Bromage score (0, no motor loss; 1, inability to flex the hip; 2, inability to flex the knee; and 3, inability to flex the ankle)
Timepoint [3] 265533 0
the time from intrathecal injection to Bromage1 block 1(motor block will be assessed by pinprick test every 10 seconds following intrathecal injection
Secondary outcome [4] 265534 0
duration of motor block (the time from intrathecal injection to Bromage score 0) will be assessed by the modified Bromage score (0, no motor loss; 1, inability to flex the hip; 2, inability to flex the knee; and 3, inability to flex the ankle)
Timepoint [4] 265534 0
the time from intrathecal injection to Bromage score 0(motor block will be assessed by the modified Bromage score every 5 minuts following intrathecal injection
Secondary outcome [5] 265572 0
systolic and diastolic blood pressure is assessed by nonivasive automatic blood pressure measurement
Timepoint [5] 265572 0
5min before the intrathecal injection,and at 2, 4, 6,8, 10, 15,20 min after the injection
Secondary outcome [6] 265573 0
heart rate is assessed by echocardiogram monitoring
Timepoint [6] 265573 0
5min before the intrathecal injection,and at 2, 4, 6,8, 10, 15,20 min after the injection

Study design
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)
