Preventing pressure ulcers with a vegetable skincare oil
Part of Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.

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.
This trial tests a special gel that may stop bacteria from building up in pressure ulcers (bedsores). It might help prevent wounds from getting infected and healing better.
This trial tests a special dressing containing vitamin E (tocotrienols) to help heal pressure ulcers (bedsores) in stages 1 or 2. It aims to see if this dressing can speed up wound healing over 6 months.
This trial tests a new fish oil-based dressing (OCM™) for venous leg ulcers, which are slow-healing sores on the lower leg caused by poor vein function. The dressing is used along with your usual compression therapy, and the study compares it to compression alone to see if it helps ulcers heal faster.
This trial tests if a gel made from aloe vera and peppermint can prevent bedsores (pressure injuries) in intensive care patients who are sedated or on a ventilator. If effective, it could offer a simple way to protect the skin while in the ICU.
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.
