Skin Change Actions by Nursing
NCT06127524 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Pressure injuries, local areas of damage to the skin and underlying soft tissue that are costly and painful, are often preventable with timely use of prevention strategies. Identifying early pressure induced tissue damage among nursing home residents by nursing staff during routine skin assessment is critical for this process. Finding early damage can prompt nursing home staff to start prevention actions and may allow viable tissue rescue, reducing other health problems or death. We propose use of sub-epidermal moisture (SEM) measures as the cue for nursing home staff to start prevention care. SEM provides early detection of skin damage by as much as 5 to 10 days prior to other methods, eliminates the inherent structural bias in visual skin assessment for residents with dark skin tones, and demonstrates a model of care using technology innovation in poorly-resourced healthcare settings to provide bedside, real-time, point-of-care feedback that is can be used immediately by nursing staff. In this study, nursing staff will use a device (the Provizio SEM Scanner) as part of standard skin assessments. The staff will use the values from the Provizio SEM Scanner during these assessments to decide if residents need preventive care for their skin. The study will look at these decisions and residents' subsequent health outcomes. The study will also use information about residents' skin health and prevention actions during the 52 weeks before the study as a comparison.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06127524
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06127524 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as Phase 2, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 4,733 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of California, Los Angeles, which has 829 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Pressure Injury appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which SEM Scanner is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06127524 reports 7 study locations spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Pennsylvania. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
