Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The aim is to investigate the hyothesis that healthy neonates have less active ear acupuncture points than sick neonates (after undergoing intensive care treatment). The number of active earacupuncture points will be noted, and then the groups will be compared. The neonates will be investigated by blinded therapist. There is a directly correlation between the healthiness or pathological condition and the number of active ear acupuncture points.	—
