(ESC-NOW) Trial Summary
This trial is testing a new way to care for infants with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) to see if it reduces the time until they are ready for discharge.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for infants ≥36 weeks gestation managed for Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome (NOWS) due to maternal opioid use or positive opioid toxicology in mother/infant. Infants with severe neurological conditions, major surgeries, infections diagnosed by 60 hours of life, or those transferred after 60 hours are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if the Eat, Sleep, Console (ESC) care approach can shorten hospital stay until infants with NOWS are ready for discharge compared to the traditional Finnegan scoring method. The ESC focuses on functional outcomes like feeding and consoling abilities.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial compares assessment tools rather than medications, there aren't direct side effects from interventions. However, different management approaches may affect infant comfort and withdrawal symptoms.
