Magnesium-L-Threonate for Sleep Quality Post-Arthroplasty

Use of Magnesium-L-Threonate to Improve Subjective Sleep Quality After Total Joint Arthroplasties: Randomized Controlled Clinical 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
