Trial summary

Background and study aims Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common type of arthritis, which most often affects the knee. It occurs when the protective cartilage on the end of bones wears away. The bones then rub against one another, which can cause stiffness, pain and a reduction in a person's range of movement. Read more about this study

About this study

Background and study aims Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common type of arthritis, which most often affects the knee. It occurs when the protective cartilage on the end of bones wears away. The bones then rub against one another, which can cause stiffness, pain and a reduction in a person's range of movement. A knee joint replacement is a common procedure where the weight bearing surfaces of the knee joint are replaced with metal and plastic components to relieve the pain and disability brought on by OA. Tranexamic Acid(TXA) is a traditional method to reduce blood loss, pain score and complications. It is not known however, what is the best method of TXA for the patients with TKA. The aim of this study is to find out whetherVisual Field Infiltration of Tranexamic Acid Reduced the Blood Loss in patients who have had knee replacement surgery.

Read the detailed description

Who can participate? Adults who have OA and need a total knee replacement. What does the study involve? Participants are randomly allocated to one of three groups. For the interventions field, could you please provide a brief methodology for each of your treatment arms, and the total duration of treatment and follow-up? Group A: Visual Field Infiltration of Tranexamic Acid during the operation of total knee replacement. Group B: No Visual Field Infiltration of Tranexamic Acid during the operation of total knee replacement.

The blood loss, VAS pain scores, length of their hospital stay, swelling and bleeding, and range of motion of the affected knee are assessed in the days following surgery.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating? Participants who are allocated to receive treatment with Visual Field Infiltration of Tranexamic Acid may benefit from a reduction in blood loss, pain, swelling and blood loss after surgery, shortening their hospital stay.

There is a small risk of discomfort, frostbite or deep vein thrombosis (a blood clot in a major vein in the leg) when using Visual Field Infiltration of Tranexamic Acid.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Tranexamic Acid 100 MG/ML in people with Total Knee Arthroplasty, run by Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, School of Medicine at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Blood loss (time frame: 1 week after operation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
