Pressure Ulcer clinical trials
The registry lists 545 studies for Pressure Ulcer across more than 10 countries. 129 are recruiting or about to start. 420 of them are mainly about Pressure Ulcer (how this is decided). Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-11-10.
ClinicalTrials.gov finds 699 studies for Pressure Ulcer. How that becomes 545 here
This page counts the studies the registry files under Pressure Ulcer, and those it files under no condition that list Pressure Ulcerthemselves. Each study its search finds is placed by how the registry filed it and by the conditions it lists. ClinicalTrials.gov counts as of Nov 8, 2026. How condition pages count
- 699Found by its condition searchIt reads the conditions a study lists and their synonyms, and also titles and keywords.
- −6List Pressure Ulcer as a condition, but the registry did not file them under itMost often written as “Hospital Acquired Pressure Ulcer” (3), “Pressure Ulcer Lesions (Grade 2 or More)” (1), and “Pressure Ulcer Prophylaxis” (1). The registry filed them under other conditions only, most often Delirium (2) and Drug-Related Side Effects and Adverse Reactions (2).
- −157Match it another way14 name it in the title, 3 in a keyword, and 140 by a synonym or other text the search reads.
- 536Counted here and found by its search11 of them list Pressure Ulcer in their own words; the registry filed them under no condition.

How long Pressure Ulcer studies take
Of 209 interventional studies with no phase under Pressure Ulcer, half reached primary completion within 11 months of starting, counting those still running.
| Start to primary completion | Every sponsor | Industry | Non-industry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interventional, no phase | 11 mo5–28 · 209 studies | 15 mo8–27 · 30 studies | 11 mo5–28 · 179 studies |
| Observational | 23 mo10–141 · 49 studies | — | — |
Each figure is the month by which half the studies had reached primary completion, with the range in which the middle half did. Studies still running count until their last registry update; studies that stopped early are left out. Phase 1 includes early phase 1; observational means prospective or not stated, as retrospective and cross-sectional studies date a window of data rather than a study. How these figures are worked out
