This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing the Sparrow Link, a small wearable device that stimulates nerves in your ear to help ease opioid withdrawal symptoms. You would wear this device while in the hospital alongside your regular withdrawal medications. Researchers want to see if this device can help reduce how uncomfortable withdrawal feels and help you stay in treatment.
Opioid withdrawal can be extremely uncomfortable and often causes people to leave the hospital early or refuse treatment altogether. While medications help manage withdrawal, doctors are looking for additional tools to reduce symptoms and make the hospital experience more bearable so people can complete their treatment.

If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to wear either an active device or a placebo device (both feel the same) while receiving your regular hospital-based withdrawal medications. Trained research staff will apply and monitor the device during daytime hours. You'll complete assessments measuring your withdrawal symptoms, pain, anxiety, and cravings throughout your hospital stay. The entire study is designed to be brief and fit into your normal inpatient treatment schedule.
