Methods: A systematic search of the literature was conducted from 1 January 2015 through 19 January 2026 to identify randomized controlled trials comparing intravenous magnesium sulfate with placebo in adults undergoing general anesthesia. Pain intensity was harmonized to a 0\u201310 scale. Primary outcomes were early postoperative pain (0\u20136 h), pain at 12 h, and pain at 24 h. Secondary outcomes were postoperative opioid consumption, expressed as intravenous morphine equivalents, and time to first rescue analgesia. Random-effects meta-analyses were performed. Risk of bias was assessed using RoB 2, and certainty of evidence using GRADE. Results: A total of 24 randomized controlled trials were included in the qualitative synthesis, of which 22 provided data for quantitative meta-analysis, yielding 23 comparisons and a total of 1750 participants. Intravenous magnesium reduced early postoperative pain (mean difference [MD] \u22120.90, 95% confidence interval [CI] \u22121.33 to \u22120.47; I2 = 96.27%) and pain at 24 h (MD \u22120.59, 95% CI \u22121.00 to \u22120.18; I2 = 66.36%), but not pain at 12 h (MD \u22120.52, 95% CI \u22121.15 to 0.11; I2 = 77.38%). Magnesium also reduced postoperative opioid consumption (MD \u22126.28 mg morphine equivalents, 95% CI \u22128.94 to \u22123.61; I2 = 95.93%) and prolonged time to first rescue analgesia (MD 85.61 min, 95% CI 40.11 to 131.10; I2 = 79.37%). Certainty of evidence ranged from very low to moderate, with the highest certainty observed for pain at 24 h. Conclusions: Intravenous magnesium was associated with reduced postoperative pain, particularly at 24 h, and with opioid-sparing effects. However, substantial heterogeneity across outcomes and generally low-to-moderate certainty of evidence warrant cautious interpretation. Magnesium may be considered as part of multimodal analgesia in appropriately selected patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ph19081296","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,17]],"date-time":"2026-08-17T08:05:41Z","timestamp":1786953941000},"page":"1296","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Effect of Intravenous Magnesium on Postoperative Pain and Analgesic Outcomes in Patients Undergoing General Anesthesia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8825-4958","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lucyna","family":"Tomaszek","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski Krakow University, 30-705 Krak\u00f3w, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Thoracic Surgery, Institute of Tuberculosis and Lung Diseases, 34-700 Rabka-Zdr\u00f3j, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8377-4893","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wioletta","family":"M\u0119drzycka-D\u0105browska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesiology Nursing & Intensive Care, Faculty of Health Sciences, Medical University of Gda\u0144sk, D\u0119binki 7, 80-211 Gda\u0144sk, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care, University Clinical Center, D\u0119binki 7, 80-952 Gda\u0144sk, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9728-5011","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sandra","family":"Lange","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal and Pediatric Nursing, Medical University of Gda\u0144sk, D\u0119binki 7, 80-211 Gda\u0144sk, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sebastian","family":"D\u0105browski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Rescue, Faculty of Health Sciences, Medical University of Gda\u0144sk, D\u0119binki 7, 80-211 Gda\u0144sk, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-3094-2385","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mateusz","family":"Szczupak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Therapy, Nicolaus Copernicus Hospital in Gda\u0144sk, 80-808 Gda\u0144sk, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Faculty of Medicine, Medical University of Gda\u0144sk, 80-210 Gda\u0144sk, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"259","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bpa.2019.07.016","article-title":"Postoperative pain management in the era of ERAS: An overview","volume":"33","author":"Joshi","year":"2019","journal-title":"Best Pract.
