Vitamin D for healing bed sores in intensive care
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving vitamin D supplements through a feeding tube can help heal bed sores (pressure injuries) in intensive care patients. It is for patients who have low vitamin D and early-stage bed sores, and who are otherwise stable enough to participate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
