Abstract

Little is known about active ear acupuncture points (EAP) in neonates. Previous unblinded studies by Stahler van Amerongen et al. showed that neonates have detectable active EAP, and that sick neonates could have more EAP relative to healthy neonates. EAP was investigated in an unblinded trial involving neonates with neonatal abstinence syndrom (NAS). Furthermore, a blinded, controlled observational trial was conducted to compare active EAP present in healthy neonates with EAP of sick neonates. An electrical point search device (PS3, Silberbauer, Vienna, Austria) was used to detect EAP.
