Clinical Trial Summary

Nocturnal leg cramps (NLC) are painful, involuntary contractions of muscles occurring at rest, mostly at night. A Cochrane review on leg cramps in pregnancy showed some potential benefits in trials of magnesium. This is a single center, prospective, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled clinical trial that aims to investigate the effect of treatment with Magnox 520® (un-organic granular magnesium complex, composed of Magnesium Oxide & Magnesium Oxide Monohydrate 865mg, Provides 520 mg of free elemental Mg++) on frequency and severity of NLC, quality of sleep and quality of life. Hypothesis: Magnox 520® may reduce the number and severity of NLC; an improvement in the quality of life and quality of sleep may ensue.


Clinical Trial Description

Ads in the local media and pharmacies will invite individuals afflicted by NLC to participate in the study. Each participating individual will undergo two weeks of eligibility screening followed by 4-week double-blind treatment. The number, severity and duration of NLC will be measured daily as documented in a designated, structured sleep dairy. Quality of life and quality of sleep will be assessed by SF-36 and PSQI questionnaires, respectively, to be completed twice - at enrollment and within one week of the end of the treatment period. ;
