Pressure mapping to reduce pressure injuries during burn care
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how different positions and supports in hospital can reduce pressure on burn wounds. It may help you avoid getting additional pressure sores while you're being treated for your burns.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years of age or older.
- You have a burn of any size.
- You are scheduled for surgery (pre-operative) or have recently had surgery for your burn (post-operative).
- You do not have a pressure injury (bedsore) that existed before you were admitted to the hospital.
- You are able to give informed consent to participate.

This study tests whether a special pressure sleeve worn inside your prosthetic socket can help reduce scarring on your residual limb after a burn injury and amputation. If you already use a well-fitting prosthetic leg or arm, this trial may help improve your scar health and comfort.
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 looks at how to prevent pressure injuries (also called bedsores) in children and young people ages 0-19 who are in the hospital. It focuses on children with darker skin tones, because pressure injuries can be harder to spot on darker skin.
This study tests a community-based care program to help manage and prevent pressure injuries (bedsores) after you leave the hospital. If you have a pressure injury and a family member or helper at home who can care for it, this program may provide extra support and guidance.
This study tracks how many patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) develop pressure sores (bedsores) and aims to find factors that predict them. Participation involves monitoring during your ICU stay to help improve prevention and care for future patients.
This study tests a special bed positioning technique (lateralization therapy) to see if it lowers pressure on the body and helps prevent bedsores in people on breathing machines. If you are on a ventilator and not yet ready to breathe on your own, this trial may help improve your comfort and skin health.
