Vitamin E dressing for pressure ulcer healing study
Part of Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or a caregiver must be older than 18 years old.
- You must have at least one bedsore that is stage 1 or 2 (not deep or open).
- Your bedsore must be smaller than 8 cm by 10 cm (about the size of a credit card).
- Your bedsore must have a healing score greater than 5 on a standard scale, meaning it's likely to heal.
- You or your caregiver must agree to follow the study plan and sign a consent form.
- You cannot have an infected wound, multiple dressing allergies, or a wound with dead tissue that needs special treatment.

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 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.
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.
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.
