Preventing pressure injuries in spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your doctor in the spinal cord injury clinic agrees to be part of this study
- You have a clinic appointment scheduled in the spinal cord injury clinic
- You are able to complete a survey (with help if needed)

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 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 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 helps develop a tool to measure how well nurses can prevent pressure injuries (bedsores). If you're a nurse, your input will help create better training and safety practices.
This trial uses an ultrasound score to see if it can predict which ICU patients will get bedsores (pressure injuries). It has two parts: first, they develop and test the score; second, they check if telling nurses the score helps prevent bedsores.
This trial tests a peer health coaching program for people with spinal cord injuries who have recently left inpatient rehab. It aims to help you adjust to community living with support from someone who has been through a similar experience.
