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 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) 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 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 a new injection called SRSD107 to see if it prevents blood clots after knee replacement surgery, compared to a standard blood thinner (enoxaparin). It might be an option if you are having a planned knee replacement and are otherwise healthy.
This study tests if using epinephrine and tranexamic acid together helps reduce bleeding and improve outcomes during knee replacement surgery. It may be a good fit if you are planning to have knee replacement and do not have certain medical conditions or allergies to these medicines.
