New tool aims to stop pressure sores before they start in spinal cord injury
NCT ID NCT06529094
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a decision support tool called CAPP-FIT to help prevent pressure injuries in people with spinal cord injury. About 808 veterans from 7 VA clinics will use a survey to identify risks, and providers get a report with recommended actions. The goal is to see if the tool reduces new pressure injuries and related hospital stays.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- decision support tool (CAPP-FIT)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this tool could help prevent painful and costly pressure injuries in people with spinal cord injury living at home.
- What could go wrong
- This is an implementation study, not a drug trial. Success depends on how well clinics adopt the tool, and results may vary across sites.
