• Artificial Intelligence-Supported Pressure Injury Prevention in ICU Patients

  This study tests PRESS AI, a mobile app, to help nurses prevent and manage pressure injuries in adult ICU patients by guiding risk and wound assessment and care decisions.

  Recruiting Ankara Yildirim Beyazıt University · Ankara, Ankara · NCT07779395

• Paraffin oil to protect skin from tourniquet damage during upper limb surgery

  This trial will try applying topical paraffin oil to the skin of adults having elective upper extremity surgery to see if it prevents tourniquet-related redness, blisters, or abrasions.

  Recruiting Istanbul Medipol University Hospital · Istanbul · NCT07523958

• Zinc oxide vs MEBO for stage 2 pressure ulcers

  This trial tests whether applying zinc oxide or MEBO ointment heals stage 2 pressure ulcers faster in hospitalized patients.

  Recruiting Phase 4 King Abdullah Medical City · Mecca, Western Reagan and 1 other locations · NCT07193849

• NeoThelium FT treatment for chronic pressure ulcers

  This project will try NeoThelium FT amnion skin graft plus usual wound care in adults with stage 2–3 chronic pressure ulcers to see if it helps wounds heal and is safe.

  Recruiting NuScience Medical Biologics, LLC · Bossier City, Louisiana and 1 other locations · NCT07158658

• Cellular, acellular, and matrix wound products plus standard care for nonhealing stage 3–4 pressure ulcers

  This study will try several cellular, acellular, and matrix-like wound products with standard care to see if adults with nonhealing stage 3–4 pressure ulcers heal more completely over 20 weeks than with standard care alone.

  Recruiting Phase 4 Tiger Biosciences, LLC. · Monroeville, Pennsylvania · NCT06999590

• Standardized laryngeal mask airway placement with cuff pressure monitoring for older adults

  This tests whether using a cuff pressure monitor when placing a laryngeal mask airway reduces airway-related adverse reactions in older adults having elective surgery.

  Recruiting First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University · Chongqing, Chongqing Municipality · NCT06954857

• Using a special bed to reduce pressure injuries in critically ill patients

  This study is testing if a special bed can help prevent pressure injuries in critically ill adults and elderly patients on ventilators better than regular repositioning methods.

  Recruiting University of Sao Paulo General Hospital · São Paulo, São Paulo · NCT06819943

• Preventing pressure injuries in veterans with spinal cord injuries

  This study is testing a new tool to help veterans with spinal cord injuries avoid pressure injuries by identifying their risks and needs better.

  Recruiting at 6 sites VA Office of Research and Development · Long Beach, California and 7 other locations · NCT06529094

• Registry for soft tissue reconstruction using Myriad™ devices

  This study is testing how safe and effective Myriad Matrix™ and Morcells™ devices are for people undergoing soft tissue reconstruction surgeries for different conditions.

  Recruiting at 6 sites Aroa Biosurgery Limited · Phoenix, Arizona and 14 other locations · NCT05243966

• Registry of Chronic Wounds and Ulcers

  This study collects information from patients with chronic wounds and ulcers to see how well different treatments are working and to improve the quality of wound care.

  Recruiting U.S. Wound Registry · The Woodlands, Texas · NCT02280733

NIH-funded research (8)

Early-stage science funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Most of these projects don't enroll patients, but they show what is being worked on.

• Personalized prediction of pressure sores after spinal cord injury

  This project will use body measures, muscle fat levels, and genetic information to predict which people with spinal cord injury are most likely to develop pressure sores so prevention can be personalized.

  NIH research Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center · Cleveland, United States · NIH-11415415

• Automated bedside screening to detect pressure injuries across diverse patients

  A pragmatic, automated method using thermal imaging to help nurses spot pressure injuries early for a wide range of patients.

  NIH research Emory University · Atlanta, United States · NIH-11392469

• Implanted biomimetic device to prevent pressure injuries in people with spinal cord injury

  A implanted, battery-powered device would provide automatic weight shifting to help prevent pressure injuries in people with spinal cord injury who have limited mobility.

  NIH research Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center · Cleveland, United States · NIH-11348042

• Identifying risk factors for pressure injuries in people with spinal cord injuries

  This study is looking into why some people with spinal cord injuries get pressure injuries while others don’t, and it aims to find ways to predict who might be at risk so that we can help them stay healthy and improve their quality of life.

  NIH research Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center · Cleveland, United States · NIH-11193210

• Preventing pressure injuries after spinal cord injury with a clinic decision tool

  A short questionnaire plus a provider report to help Veterans with spinal cord injury spot and prevent pressure sores.

  NIH research Edward Hines Jr VA Hospital · Hines, United States · NIH-11178113

• Preventing bed sores in nursing homes by finding early skin changes

  This project is testing a new way to find early skin changes that could lead to bed sores, helping nursing home residents avoid these painful injuries.

  NIH research University of California Los Angeles · Los Angeles, United States · NIH-11137082

• Detecting skin changes to prevent pressure injuries in nursing homes

  This study is looking at a new way to spot early signs of pressure injuries in nursing home residents by measuring moisture just under the skin, helping caregivers take action before any damage happens, especially for those with darker skin tones.

  NIH research University of California Los Angeles · Los Angeles, United States · NIH-10872205

• Preventing pressure injuries in spinal cord injury patients using a decision support tool.

  This study is testing a new tool to help prevent pressure injuries for people with spinal cord injuries, making it easier for patients to identify their risk factors and for healthcare providers to give personalized advice, all in a way that's convenient for you to use at home or in the clinic.
