Summary

This study planned to test whether diapers containing copper could help treat incontinence-associated dermatitis (a painful skin rash) in elderly adults. Researchers wanted to compare copper diapers with regular ones over 28 days. However, the trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.

What this could lead to
