ACL surgery recovery boost? new trial tests One-Dose Anti-Inflammatory drug
NCT ID NCT07332910
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a single dose of tranexamic acid (TXA), given during ACL reconstruction surgery, can reduce inflammation and improve early recovery. Sixty adults having ACL surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either TXA or a placebo. The main goal is to measure changes in a key inflammatory marker (IL-6) over the first 24 hours after surgery.
