Trial Summary

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial excludes participants who are taking medications known to cause significant sedation or insomnia, so you may need to stop those specific medications. The protocol does not specify other medication restrictions.

What data supports the effectiveness of the drug Magnesium-L-Threonate for improving sleep after joint replacement?

Research suggests that magnesium, in general, may be linked to better sleep quality, as seen in studies where higher magnesium intake was associated with reduced daytime sleepiness and improved sleep patterns. However, the specific effects of Magnesium-L-Threonate on sleep after joint replacement are not directly studied, and more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness for this purpose.12345

Is Magnesium-L-Threonate safe for humans?

Magnesium-L-Threonate has been studied for its effects on pain relief and reducing opioid use in advanced cancer patients, and no serious safety concerns were reported. Other forms of magnesium, like magnesium sulfate, have been used in various surgeries without serious adverse effects in adults.23567

How does the drug Magnesium-L-Threonate differ from other treatments for sleep issues after joint replacement?

Magnesium-L-Threonate is unique because it is specifically designed to increase magnesium levels in the brain, which can help regulate sleep by enhancing neurotransmitter activity and brain wave patterns. Unlike other magnesium supplements, it has higher bioavailability, meaning it is more effectively absorbed by the body, potentially offering better support for sleep quality.148910

What is the purpose of this trial?

The study team is conducting a study to see if Magnesium-L-Threonate (MgT) can help improve how well participants sleep and reduce pain after total joint replacement surgery
