Copper diapers aim to soothe skin – but trial never started
NCT ID NCT06726707
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
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 However, the trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
