This study is looking at different physical therapy treatments for pressure injuries (bedsores) in people with spinal cord injuries. Researchers are comparing three approaches: pulsed wound irrigation (PWI), which uses a gentle stream of saline to clean wounds; electrical stimulation (ES), which uses mild electrical currents to help healing; and a combination of both PWI and ES. The goal is to see which treatment, or combination, is most effective at healing wounds. You might be able to join if you are an adult with a spinal cord injury, have a pressure injury on your sacrum or ischium, and are currently receiving inpatient rehabilitation at Carolinas Rehabilitation Charlotte. Success will be measured by changes in your wound healing over time, using a tool called the Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool (BWAT). The study plans to enroll 40 participants, but its current status is unclear.

Study design

What's involved

Your wound healing will be assessed at the start of the study, after one week, and again after one year.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Participants will be followed for one year after starting treatment to assess wound healing.
