NCT ID NCT07074743
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a community-based care bundle for treating and preventing pressure injuries (bedsores) in older adults at home. 216 participants discharged from Singapore General Hospital will either receive the bundle (including special cushions, skin barriers, and caregiver training) or routine care. The goal is to see if the bundle improves healing and prevents new injuries over six weeks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
community-based pressure injury care bundle (includes sliding sheets, cushions, skin barriers, moisturizers, pressure-relieving overlays, alternating air mattresses, and caregiver training)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a practical, effective way to treat and prevent pressure injuries at home, reducing hospital visits and supporting caregivers.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study (216 participants) comparing the bundle to routine care. Results may not apply to all settings, and the bundle may not significantly improve healing or prevention.
