TXA vs Placebo for Pain After Wrist Surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests if tranexamic acid (TXA), a medicine used to reduce bleeding, can help lessen pain right after wrist fracture surgery. You may be able to join if you had breast cancer and radiation at least a year ago, are not currently on active cancer treatment, and don't take blood thinners or daily strong pain pills.

This study compares two types of numbing medicine (bupivacaine and liposomal bupivacaine) given near the collarbone before wrist surgery to see which provides better pain relief afterward.
This trial tests whether using mechanical devices (like compression or massage) reduces swelling and pain better than standard care after wrist fracture surgery. It may help you recover hand function more comfortably.
This trial tests if taking tranexamic acid (TXA) as a pill can reduce bleeding after total knee replacement surgery. It may help you if you have knee osteoarthritis and are scheduled for a first-time knee replacement.
This trial tests whether taking tranexamic acid (a medicine that helps blood clot) for several days after knee replacement surgery reduces bleeding and improves recovery. It may help patients who have a standard knee replacement and are not on blood thinners.
This study tests whether taking tranexamic acid (a medicine that helps prevent bleeding) after total knee replacement can reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers. You would take the medicine for up to 7 days after surgery and answer a few daily questions.
This trial tests if taking tranexamic acid (TXA) pills for a week after knee replacement surgery helps reduce bleeding and the need for blood transfusions. You may qualify if you are having a planned first-time knee replacement with spinal anesthesia and are already scheduled for standard care.
