Authors' objectives:
Does auricular acupuncture according to the NADA protocol, on drug (pharmaceutics) or narcotic dependent patients, have a positive effect on continued participation in treatment programs, reduced drug consumption, relapse, withdrawal symptoms, and craving, as well as on psychological well-being, compared to sham acupuncture, or for opiate dependence, compared to methadone or buprenorphine treatment?
Authors' recommendations:
There is no scientific support for the efficacy of ear acupuncture, according to NADA, for treatment of narcotic dependency.
