Study Summary

The long term goals of our research are to establish the best pharmacological treatment for NAS and determine how pharmacologic treatment of NAS affects long-term developmental outcomes. The objective of this application is to evaluate the effectiveness of clonidine as a treatment for neonates with NAS, in a randomized clinical trial. Our central hypothesis is that clonidine will effectively treat drug withdrawal manifestations in neonates.

Primary Outcome

The summary scores from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Network Neurobehavioral Scale (NNNS) give a measure of infant neurobehavior in the following areas (score range): habituation (1-9), regulation (2.20-7.50), attention (1.29-8.4), Handling (0-1), quality of movement (1.20-6.20), Non-optimal reflexes (0-12), Asymmetric reflexes (0-7), arousal (2.43-6.67), hypertonicity (0-8), hypotonicity (0-5.0), excitability (0-11), lethargy (0-11.0), and stress/abstinence (0-0.57).
