Effectiveness of Microcurrents Therapy in Pressure Ulcers in Elderly People

Electric Stimulation Therapy Clinical Trial

Official title:
Effectiveness of Microcurrents Therapy in Pressure Ulcers in Elderly People: Controlled and Randomized Triple Blind Clinical Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect on the healing of pressure ulcers in elderly people using a care protocol plus the application of microcurrent patches during 12 hours per day compared to the effect of the same protocol plus placebo electric stimulation.

Clinical Trial Description

The design of this study is a multicentric, parallel, randomised, triple blind clinical trial with placebo control. The size of the sample will be 30 participants older than 60 years old who are institutionalized in some nursing homes in Spain.They will be randomized in two groups: control or experimental. The variables of the study will be collected at three time points: before the intervention, 14 days after the start of the intervention and at the end of the intervention. The statistical analysis will be an intention-to-treat analysis. For the main outcomes variables a two-factor ANOVA will-be performed (intervention-time) with a post-hoc analysis with Bonferroni correction ;
