Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  MAGNESIUM SULPHATE - control group  CONTROL GROUP Loading dose: Magnesium sulphate (3g) slow IV injection over a period of not less than 5 minute, preferably 10 minute. Magnesium sulphate (50%) 6ml diluted with 14ml of 5% dextrose. Magnesium sulphate (2.5g) deep IM in each buttock (5ml 50%) Maintenance dose: Magnesium sulphate (2.5g) deep IM in the alternate buttocks every 4 hours. STUDY GROUP Loading dose:- Magnesium sulphate (3 g) slow IV injection over a period of not less than 5 minute, preferably 10 minute. Magnesium sulphate (50%) 6ml diluted with 14ml of 5% dextrose. Magnesium sulphate (2.5g) deep IM in each buttock (5ml 50%). Maintenance dose: Nil. Additional dose: Recurrent convulsion- magnesium sulphate 1g IV slowly in 5 minute magnesium sulphate (50%) 2ml diluted with 8ml 5% dextrose. In the study group, same protocol will be followed except there is no maintenance dose. If there is recurrence of convulsion, additional dose of 1g IV will be given as noted in study group. But if the patient have more than 1 recurrent convulsions patient will be given maintenance dose as per protocol followed in control group.  
Intervention  MAGNESIUM SULPHATE - STUDY GROUP  Loading dose: Magnesium sulphate (3 g) slow IV injection over a period of not less than 5 minute, preferably 10 minute.

Brief Summary  

 This study is a randomised, parallel group, open lebel trial compairing the efficacy of  two regimens of low dose magnesium sulphate for the treatment of eclapsia in Indian women. In this trial, two regimens of (low dose) magnesium sulphate in the treatment of eclampsia are compared.

 (1) In Control Group: low dose magnesium sulphate (loading plus maintenance dose) is used to control convulsions.

(2) In STUDY Group: Only loading dose of magnesium sulphate will be used (no maintenance dose)  for control of convulsions.

The outcomes of study and control groups are compared in terms of:

(a) Rate of recurrent convulsions in mothers.

(b) Maternal mortality and morbidity

(c) Total amount of magnesium sulphate received by each woman.

(d) Clinical evidence of  magnesium toxicity.

(e) Perinatal mortality and morbidity

This study will explore how efficiently magnesium sulphate can be used for eclampsia without producing maternal toxicity, and avoiding undue prolonged treatment.
