NCT ID NCT05403762
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two different skin protection products to prevent incontinence-associated dermatitis (a type of diaper rash) in elderly nursing home residents. Researchers compared a film-forming protectant and a lipophilic (oil-based) protectant against no treatment in 220 participants. The goal was to see which product better prevents skin inflammation caused by contact with urine or stool.
