This trial tests whether a special light treatment (photobiomodulation) helps heal stage II pressure ulcers (bedsores) more effectively in patients who are staying in the intensive care unit for at least two weeks. It is designed for people with stable health and normal blood levels.
This study offers free web-based training and counseling to family caregivers of bedridden older adults. It aims to help you prevent bedsores, support your loved one's independence, and reduce the stress of caregiving.
This study looks at whether a special heel pad helps prevent bedsores (pressure ulcers) during and after surgery. You might be able to join if you're having planned surgery and will stay in the hospital for a few days.
This study tests a moisturizing skin care routine with a barrier spray to prevent bedsores in older adults who have trouble controlling their bladder or bowels. If you are 65 or older and have some skin intact, this could help you stay healthy.
This study tests a new care plan that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help nurses prevent bed sores caused by medical devices in the ICU. If you're in intensive care and have a medical device, this approach might reduce your risk of developing these painful sores.
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.
