Baby skin risk test for NICU babies
Part of 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 to protect the delicate skin of moderately premature babies while they are monitored in the hospital. If your baby was born a few weeks early and needs hospital care, this sensor might help prevent skin irritation.
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 uses a special ultrasound test to measure the health of the skin and tissue over the tailbone in ICU patients, to predict who might get a pressure injury (bed sore). If the test works well, it could help doctors take early steps to prevent bed sores in high-risk patients.
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 study looks at how well the skin acts as a barrier in patients in the intensive care unit. The researchers will regularly check the skin's moisture, oil, and pH to see if it changes during the ICU stay and if it can help prevent skin problems.
