Preventing bedsores in patients placed on their stomach
This trial tests a new way to prevent bedsores (pressure injuries) while patients lie on their stomachs for breathing support. It's for adults in the ICU with severe lung problems who are on a ventilator.
CaenAges 18–110 - NCT06330506Recruiting
Preventing bed sores after orthopaedic surgery
This study tests a special care package designed to prevent pressure ulcers (bed sores) in surgical patients. If you are having orthopaedic surgery and are not already at high risk, this package may help protect your skin during recovery.

Preventing bedsores with a special air mattress
This trial tests a special air mattress (XTECH®25) to see if it can prevent bedsores (pressure ulcers) in people who are at high risk and spend a lot of time in bed. If you qualify, you would use the mattress at home or in a care facility.

Foam cushion study for heart surgery patients
This trial tests a special foam cushion for heart surgery patients, to see if it helps prevent pressure sores. You may be able to join if you are at risk for pressure sores but do not have any yet.
Mecca, Western ReaganAges 18 years+ - NCT07045480Recruiting
Preventing pressure ulcers with a vegetable skincare oil
This trial tests whether a vegetable skincare oil (RIVADOUCE) applied to skin areas at risk can help prevent pressure ulcers in patients staying in a care facility for at least a month. If you are at risk for pressure ulcers but don't have one yet, you may be able to join.
Multiple LocationsAges 18 years+ - NCT07303569Recruiting
Preventing pressure injuries in children and young people
This study looks at how to prevent pressure injuries (also called bedsores) in children and young people ages 0-19 who are in the hospital. It focuses on children with darker skin tones, because pressure injuries can be harder to spot on darker skin.
NottinghamAges Any age - NCT07547254Enrolling by invitation
Palmitoleic Acid Oil for Preventing Pressure Sores
This trial tests whether a special oil applied to the skin can prevent pressure injuries (bedsores) in patients at high risk. You would be screened using a skin moisture sensor to confirm your risk level.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05308862Recruiting
Testing a program to prevent skin sores, weight loss, and falls
This study looks at whether joining a Swedish quality program for older adults can help prevent pressure ulcers, malnutrition, poor oral health, and falls. If you are in the municipal care system and registered in the Senior Alert quality registry, the study may be relevant for your care setting.

HOFA versus hydrocolloid dressings to prevent bedsores
This trial compares two types of skin protection to prevent pressure sores (bedsores) in people who must lie face-down (prone) in the ICU. It may help by reducing new sores from constant pressure in common injury areas.

Breathing exercise and cold pack for wound cleaning pain
