About this study

Official title: Investigation of the Effects of Topical Haemoglobin Wound Care Spray in Pressure Ulcer Care

A prospective randomised controlled experimental study was planned to compare the effects of pressure sore dressing using topical haemoglobin and traditional gauze dressing using saline on the healing process and cost of pressure sores in patients with pressure sores.

Read the detailed description

Pressure sores are a serious health problem because they increase mortality, decrease quality of life, prolong hospital stays, increase patient care costs, impair body image, prolong the healing process, and have many other negative effects.

The European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (EPUAP), National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPIAP), and Pan Pacific Pressure Ulcer Association (PPPIA) 2019 guidelines report that the prevalence of pressure ulcers in healthcare settings ranges from 10% to 72.5%, with large variations between different clinics and geographies. In the United States, the cost of pressure sore treatment to organisations is estimated to be $11 billion annually. Pressure sores will continue to be an important public health problem today and in the future, especially due to the increasing number of elderly people in the world and in our country, chronic diseases, comorbidity, and palliative conditions.

Therefore, the study was planned as a prospective randomised controlled experimental trial to compare the effects of pressure sore dressing using topical haemoglobin and traditional gauze dressing using saline on the healing process and cost of pressure sores in patients with pressure sores.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Pressure ulcer scale for healing

    PUSH is an acronym for Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing. The National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel developed this tool to monitor pressure healing over time. The PUSH Tool monitors three parameters: surface area of the wound, wound exudate, and type of wound tissue. Wounds are measured using a centimeter ruler. The scores are rated from 0 to 10 according to the size of the wound.

    Measured: 2 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. cost chart

    The researcher has been formed by the researchers. The materials used for 2 months will be recorded in this table with their quantity. At the end of the study, cost calculation will be made based on current prices.

    Measured: 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Topical haemoglobin wound care spray in people with Pressure Ulcer and Wound Heal, run by Bartın Unıversity at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pressure ulcer scale for healing (time frame: 2 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Aug 2024.
