Ear zaps ease Newborns' opioid withdrawal, study hopes

NCT ID NCT05129020

Summary

This study is testing whether a gentle, non-invasive stimulation device worn on the ear can help newborns suffering from opioid withdrawal. The goal is to see if this 'ear stimulation' therapy can reduce the number of days babies need morphine and shorten their hospital stay. It compares the real device to a fake one, while all babies receive standard morphine treatment as needed.
