Summary

This study looked at pregnant women being treated for opioid use disorder with two different forms of buprenorphine: a monthly shot and a daily tablet. Researchers measured drug levels in the mother's blood and checked the baby's heart rate to see how each treatment affected both mother and child. The goal was to understand which approach might lead to better outcomes for newborns, including reducing withdrawal symptoms.
