Recruiting studies in California
- NCT06529094Recruiting
Preventing pressure injuries in spinal cord injury
This study tests a decision-support tool to help prevent pressure injuries (bedsores) in veterans with spinal cord injury. It may be a good fit if you see a SCI clinic provider and can fill out a short survey.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05496296Recruiting
Compare a powder dressing vs standard care for pressure sores
This study compares a transforming powder dressing to usual recommended wound care for pressure injuries at stages 2 to 4. It may help you find out whether the powder dressing heals these sores better or faster than standard treatments.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18–85 - NCT06328010Enrolling by invitation
Real-world data registry for wound care treatments
This study collects information on various wound types and how they respond to standard care. It aims to learn what works best for wounds that haven't healed after 4 weeks of treatment.
Riverside, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06368648Recruiting
Study of a new forehead sensor for brain pressure monitoring
This study tests a new sensor that measures brain pressure from outside the head. It is for people who are already in the hospital getting their brain pressure and blood pressure monitored continuously.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05243966Recruiting
Registry for soft tissue repair using a special matrix
This study is a registry that collects information from people who had soft tissue repair using a specific matrix and/or morcell material. It may help researchers understand how this approach performs in real-world care and patient outcomes over time.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07611318Enrolling by invitation
Imaging study comparing wound infection detection methods
This study tests a new imaging device that uses fluorescence (special light) to detect bacteria and infection in wounds. Researchers will compare it to a standard method by taking small tissue samples. If you have a wound that's healing slowly, this might help doctors better understand and treat it.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 22 years+ - NCT06717308Recruiting
Testing a gentler adhesive drape for wound therapy
This trial compares a special adhesive drape (the switchable one) with the standard drape during negative pressure wound therapy (a treatment that uses suction to help heal wounds after surgery). The goal is to see if the new drape causes less pain when removed.

What taking part in a pressure injury study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there pressure injury clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 7 recruiting pressure injury studies with a site in California, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a pressure injury study in California?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a pressure injury trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
