Testing a new tool to place a copper IUD
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a new inserter tool is safe and works well for placing a copper IUD called GYNEFIX. You may help researchers learn if the placement is easier and the device stays properly in place over 3 years.

This study checks whether placing a 52 mg hormonal IUD soon after sex (up to 5 days) or on the same day (under certain timing) is safe and works as birth control. You may be able to join if you need emergency contraception or want to start an IUD right away and meet clinic and pregnancy-safety checks.
This trial tests a vaginal ring that uses copper to prevent pregnancy. It aims to check if the ring is safe for women with regular periods who are not using other birth control.
This study tests if using ultrasound during IUD (intrauterine system) insertion reduces pain compared to the standard method. If you are getting a Kyleena or Mirena IUD, your experience may help improve comfort for other women.
This study compares two types of intrauterine devices (IUDs—small birth control devices placed in the uterus) to see how they affect vaginal health and the ability to prevent sexually transmitted infections. Researchers want to understand which type may be safer and more protective for young women.
This trial tests if a special device called Carevix can make IUD insertion less painful. You may be able to join if you are scheduled to get an IUD placed and your provider plans to use the Carevix device.
This study is developing a tool to help women decide if using a hormone-releasing intrauterine device (IUD) is right for them to lower their risk of endometrial cancer. Researchers are interviewing women at different risk levels and healthcare providers to make the tool useful and easy to understand.
