Zapping bedsores: can a gentle shock speed healing?
NCT ID NCT05085288
Summary
This study is testing whether adding mild electrical stimulation to standard care helps heal early-stage bedsores faster and prevents them from getting worse. It will involve about 1,100 hospitalized adults with bedsores on their lower back or buttocks. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the electrical stimulation device plus standard care or standard care alone to compare results.
