Aloe vera and rosemary for preventing bedsores
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether aloe vera gel or rosemary oil can prevent pressure injuries (bedsores) in people who are at higher risk. It may help reduce painful skin damage during a hospital stay by using skin products in people who do not yet have bedsores.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a gel made from aloe vera and peppermint can help prevent pressure injuries (bedsores) in patients staying in the intensive care unit. Pressure injuries are painful sores that form when skin stays in one position too long, and this gel might help protect vulnerable skin.
This study tests a special care plan to prevent bedsores (pressure injuries) in intensive care patients and looks at whether it helps reduce both how often they happen and the costs. It may help if you or a loved one is admitted to the ICU for at least 24 hours and does not already have a bedsore.
This study tests if a web-based training program for nurses can help prevent bed sores (pressure injuries) in intensive care patients. It looks at both how nurses learn and how patients' skin health improves.
This trial tests a special care bundle (a set of skin checks, cleaning, and repositioning steps) to prevent pressure injuries (bed sores) in hospitalized adults who are able to move somewhat on their own. It is meant for people without existing bed sores or major skin problems, and who are not in intensive care or certain other units.
This trial tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) tool can help prevent pressure injuries (bedsores) in patients staying in an intensive care unit. The AI may help nurses provide better care to reduce these injuries.
This trial tests whether applying olive oil to the skin can help prevent bedsores (pressure injuries) in people who have trouble moving. If you have limited mobility due to a stroke, spinal cord injury, a fracture, or multiple sclerosis, you may be able to join.
