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.

- You are a veteran
- 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)
- You do not have a current diagnosis of dementia

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 a web-based training program for nurses to help prevent pressure injuries (bed sores) in intensive care patients. It looks at how the training affects both nurses' knowledge and patient outcomes.
This study is testing a new nursing care plan to prevent pressure injuries (bedsores) in the ICU and see if it lowers how often they happen and what they cost. If you are in the ICU and don't have any bedsores yet, this might help you avoid getting one.
This study uses a special ultrasound test to measure the health of the skin and tissue over the tailbone in ICU patients, to predict who might get a pressure injury (bed sore). If the test works well, it could help doctors take early steps to prevent bed sores in high-risk patients.
This study tests a new care plan that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help nurses prevent bed sores caused by medical devices in the ICU. If you're in intensive care and have a medical device, this approach might reduce your risk of developing these painful sores.
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.
