First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adding tranexamic acid (a drug that helps blood clot) to standard surgery can lower the chance of needing another surgery for chronic subdural hematoma, a condition where blood collects around the brain. About 274 adults scheduled for surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either surgery alone or surgery plus the drug. The main goal is to see if the drug reduces repeat operations within 90 days.
