Tranexamic acid to reduce blood loss in hip surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests if a medicine called tranexamic acid can reduce bleeding during hip surgery for children with cerebral palsy. It may help make the surgery safer and reduce the need for blood transfusions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Child is between 4 and 16 years old
- Diagnosed with cerebral palsy
- Has severe hip displacement and is scheduled for corrective hip surgery
- Does not have a bleeding disorder or known allergy to tranexamic acid
- Does not have kidney problems or certain types of leukemia

This Phase 3 trial tests whether tranexamic acid can reduce bleeding during major spine fusion surgery for adults with scoliosis or spine degeneration. It may help lessen blood loss and the need for transfusions, while monitoring safety.
This study tests whether tranexamic acid (a medicine that helps reduce bleeding) can safely help children during certain hip bone operations. It may help lower blood loss around the surgery.
This trial tests whether tranexamic acid (a medicine that helps blood clot) can improve outcomes for children with certain serious head or torso injuries. It aims to reduce complications from internal bleeding when the medicine is given soon after the injury.
This trial tests whether tranexamic acid (a medicine that helps blood clot) can reduce blood loss during long spine surgery after an injury. It may help lower the chance of needing transfusions and manage surgical bleeding.
This study tests whether a medicine called tranexamic acid (TXA), given as a shot into the hip joint or as a soak on the skin, can reduce bleeding during hip replacement surgery. It is for people over 60 who broke their hip from a simple fall and need a cementless hip replacement.
This study tests whether a medicine called tranexamic acid (TXA) can reduce pain, improve movement, and lessen bleeding after hip or knee replacement surgery. It is for adults having their first joint replacement at St. Mary's Hospital.
