Study Summary
This study will determine the feasibility of using auricular acupressure as an intervention in newborns with neonatal abstinence syndrome(NAS). Auricular acupuncture has been used as an intervention in adults in withdrawal by the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association with good results. The same points on the ear used by National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA) will be used in this intervention using a spring-loaded microprobe to apply minimal pressure instead of needles. The purpose of this study is to identify barriers to recruiting newborns with NAS; to identify newborn behaviors during the intervention that determine tolerance of the intervention, and to compare results of vitals signs and withdrawal scores prior to intervention and post-intervention.
