Official title
Extended Post-Operative Oral Tranexamic Acid Dosing After ACL Reconstruction: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial (SM25091)
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether taking oral tranexamic acid (TXA) for one week after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction improves recovery in adolescents and young adults aged 14 to 25 years. All participants receive standard intravenous TXA during surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does oral TXA lower knee pain at 2 weeks after surgery? * Does oral TXA reduce the amount of opioid pain medicine used in the first 2 weeks? * Does oral TXA improve knee range of motion at 2 weeks? Researchers will compare oral TXA to a placebo (a look-alike capsule with no active drug) to see if oral TXA improves pain, opioid use, motion, strength, knee function, and return to sport. Participants will: * Take 3 capsules (oral TXA or placebo) once a day for the first 8 days after surgery (day of surgery through day 7) * Keep a home diary for 2 weeks recording pain scores, opioid pills taken and any side effects * Return for study visits at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months, 9 months and 1 year for pain, motion, strength and function testing * Complete a survey at 2 years
