Topical TRanexamic Acid vs. Placebo on Acute Postoperative Pain Following DRF Fixation (NCT06384456)
The Effect of Topical TRanexamic Acid vs. Placebo on Acute Postoperative Pain Following Distal Radius Fracture Fixation: a Randomized Controlled Trial - The TRADR Study
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this study is to find out whether the use of topical tranexamic acid (TXA) into the surgical wound will result in less post-operative pain, less pain killer use, and better post-operative use of the wrist in people undergoing surgery for a wrist fracture compared to not using topical TXA (placebo).
