NCT ID NCT07644923
First seen Jun 19, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether applying a mix of numbing drugs and clotting agents directly to surgical wounds can reduce pain and the need for opioid pills after hand surgery. Forty adults having elective hand surgery will be randomly assigned to one of four combinations of these drugs. The goal is to find a safer, non-addictive way to manage post-surgery pain.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
a mixture of local anesthetics (bupivacaine, lidocaine) and clotting drugs (thrombin, tranexamic acid, aminocaproic acid) applied to the surgical wound
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a way to manage pain after hand surgery without relying on opioid pills.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug mixture is experimental and may not provide better pain relief than standard care.
