Unverified Answer

Are there any restrictions that would prevent someone from participating in this research?

"This research endeavour looks to enrol 80 neonates and infants aged 33 weeks up to 1 year of age with Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome (NOWS). To be considered, these patients must have scored high enough on withdrawal metrics that they require opioid therapy. Additionally, those involved in the study must either be clinically stable or only using minimal respiratory support like CPAP or nasal cannula. Furthermore, babies who need opioids due to an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation procedure should also qualify for inclusion. Lastly, any infant with a congenital syndrome may take part as long as their anomalies are not major and unrepaired." - Anonymous Online Contributor
