Hidden burden: could depression be common in chronic wound patients?
NCT ID NCT04701632
First seen Aug 04, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study reviews medical records of adults treated at a wound care clinic to see how many also have signs of depression, using a standard questionnaire called the PHQ-9. The goal is to measure how common depression is in this group and identify factors linked to it. The findings could help clinics better recognize and address mental health needs in people with chronic wounds.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could highlight the need for routine depression screening in wound care, potentially improving overall patient outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- As a retrospective chart review, it can only show associations, not cause and effect. The single-center design may limit how well the findings apply to other populations.
