Nail coating study for high-risk healthcare workers
Part of Infections, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special nail coating reduces bacteria on the nails of healthcare workers. If you work in a high-risk ward, your nails can be checked and coated to see if it helps keep them cleaner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a nurse, doctor, or respiratory physiotherapist working in a high-risk ward (like ICU or infectious disease)
- Your nails and cuticles must be healthy (no damage, infection, or cracks)
- You are not an operating room staff member who uses surgical hand brushing
- You do not work in a general nursing ward

This study looks at how well hand hygiene practices work and whether bacteria are present on personal items like phones, pens, and ID badges carried by ICU nurses. By participating, you help improve infection control practices.
This study tests a medicated nail patch to see if it can improve nail fragility, fungal infections (onychomycosis), or psoriasis that covers up to 75% of the nail. It might help if you have nail problems that haven't gotten better with other treatments.
This trial tests two different treatments for fungus that affects the fingernails or toenails. It is designed to see how well the treatments work and if they are safe.
This study uses a simple microscope test of the tiny blood vessels in your fingernail folds to see if chronic low-dose radiation exposure affects them. It may help understand long-term health risks for healthcare workers like you.
This study tests a new approach to prevent infections on central venous catheters (thin tubes inserted into large veins) in hospital intensive care units. Researchers will study catheters that already show signs of bacterial growth to understand how to better protect patients from catheter-related infections.
This trial tests a combination treatment for toenail fungus (onychomycosis). It uses a special device (Mycoclear) and a medicated nail polish (Ciclopirox). It may help if you have mild to moderate fungus on your big toenail.
