First seen Apr 25, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This study tested whether giving tranexamic acid (a drug that reduces bleeding) through an IV during shoulder surgery can lower pain and the need for morphine afterward. The idea is that less bleeding means less swelling and pain. The trial involved 220 adults having shoulder arthroscopy. Results could help patients recover with fewer side effects from strong painkillers.
