Zinc oxide vs MEBO for stage 2 pressure ulcers
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This trial compares two topical treatments—zinc oxide and MEBO—for stage 2 pressure ulcers (bedsores that are open but not too deep). It aims to see which works better to help these sores heal in patients at King Abdullah Medical City.

This study compares a transforming powder dressing to usual recommended wound care for pressure injuries at stages 2 to 4. It may help you find out whether the powder dressing heals these sores better or faster than standard treatments.
This trial tests different wound-healing products (called CAMPs) to see if they work better than standard care for hard-to-heal pressure ulcers (bedsores). It might be a good fit if you have a long-lasting stage 3 or 4 bedsore on your trunk that is not infected.
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 tissue-engineered skin substitute called NeoThelium FT for treating pressure injuries (bed sores) on the pelvis or lower legs. It may help heal wounds that haven't improved much with standard care.
This trial tests a new skin graft called NeoThelium FT for stage 2 or 3 pressure ulcers on the pelvis or lower leg. It’s for adults whose wounds are not infected and who can use a wound vacuum to help healing.
This trial tests if special wound dressings (called cellular, acellular, or matrix-like products) can help heal severe pressure ulcers that haven't improved with standard care. It may be a good option if you have a stage 3 or 4 pressure ulcer on your lower back or tailbone area that's been there for at least a month.
