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.
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 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 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 study compares two ways of giving tranexamic acid (a medication that reduces bleeding) during hip or knee replacement surgery. Researchers want to see which method—injected directly into the bone or through the vein—works better and reaches the bloodstream more effectively.
