Official title
Auricular Acupressure as an Adjunct Treatment for Opioid Tapering in a Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Unit: A Pilot Feasibility Study
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This intervention pilot feasibility study will assess the impact of auricular acupressure as an additional non-pharmacologic therapy for infants at risk for developing Iatrogenic Withdrawal Syndrome (IWS) in the Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (PCICU) of Monroe Carrell Jr Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt (MCJCHV). The investigators will recruit 40 healthy, 34 weeks gestational age or older infants exposed to prolonged medications (greater than 5 days) for cardiac procedures that may cause withdrawal upon cessation such as opioids, benzodiazepines, or other sedative medications. Participants will receive the auricular acupressure in addition to the standard of care such as clustered nursing care, touch, position change, environmental controls, holding, and swaddling.
