Wrist surgery pain relief: could a cheap drug cut opioid use?
NCT ID NCT06384456
First seen May 04, 2026 · Last updated May 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether applying tranexamic acid (TXA) directly into the surgical wound can lower pain, reduce the need for painkillers, and improve wrist function after surgery for a broken wrist. About 90 adults having wrist fracture repair will be randomly assigned to receive either TXA or a placebo (salt water) during surgery. The goal is to see if this simple, low-cost approach can make recovery more comfortable and reduce reliance on opioids.
