Summary

This trial tests whether a special dressing containing tocotrienols (a form of vitamin E) helps heal stage 1 and 2 pressure ulcers (bedsores) faster than standard care. About 114 adults with pressure ulcers will be randomly assigned to receive either the tocotrienol dressing or a conventional hydrocolloid dressing. Researchers will measure wound healing over 43 days using the Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing (PUSH) score and wound size reduction.
