Brief Summary   This study is designed to compare the effectiveness of IV dexmedetomidine , dexamethasone and magnesium sulphate in preventing shivering in patients undergoing urological studies under spinal anaesthesia . The trail evaluates the incidence , severity and haemodynamic stability associated with each drug  . In this trail  patients will be randomly allocated into 3 groups , spinal anaesthesia will be given and after confirming the adequate sensory block the study drug will be given and then the observations will be noted .
