Baby skin risk test for NICU babies
Part of Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a new tool to check the risk of skin injuries (pressure injuries) in newborn babies in the neonatal intensive care unit. Your baby might be helped by better prevention and care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be less than 28 days old when they enter the NICU.
- Your baby must weigh less than 5 kg (about 11 pounds) when they enter the NICU.
- Both parents (or the only parent recognized by law) must sign a consent form saying they understand the study.

This study tests a soft silicone sensor that may help protect the delicate skin of babies born a bit early. It aims to see if the sensor is safe and helpful for babies who need monitoring in the hospital.
This study looks at how holding your baby skin-to-skin affects their health and development, for babies born at 32 weeks or earlier.
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 trial tests how skin-to-skin contact affects pain and brain activity in premature babies during a routine heel prick. It may help find better ways to manage pain for infants in the NICU.
This trial uses an ultrasound score to see if it can predict which ICU patients will get bedsores (pressure injuries). It has two parts: first, they develop and test the score; second, they check if telling nurses the score helps prevent bedsores.
This study is testing if giving more skin-to-skin care (called Kangaroo Care) to very early-born babies in the NICU can reduce serious infections and the spread of resistant bacteria. It is for babies born before 32 weeks in certain hospitals.
