Eye surgery recovery breakthrough? drug may cut black eyes and swelling
NCT ID NCT06450392
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether tranexamic acid (TXA), a drug that helps blood clot, can reduce swelling and bruising after eye socket surgery. About 150 adults having orbital surgery will receive TXA locally, systemically, or a placebo. The goal is to see if TXA leads to less swelling and bruising in the first week after surgery.
