NCT ID NCT03553186
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether applying tranexamic acid directly into the surgical wound, in addition to giving it through an IV, can reduce bleeding and the need for blood transfusions in adults having extensive spine surgery. About 100 adults aged 18 to 80 with spinal deformity will take part. The goal is to see if this simple, low-cost approach makes surgery safer and speeds recovery.
