Comparing two methods to remove a stuck IUD
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two methods to remove a stuck IUD: one using a small camera (hysteroscopy) and the other using ultrasound guidance. It aims to find which is safer and more effective, helping women avoid more invasive procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a retained IUD (an IUD that is stuck or cannot be removed easily).
- You do not have an active infection in your pelvis.
- You are not pregnant with a viable pregnancy.
- You do not have any cervical (neck of the womb) problems that could interfere with the procedure.

This study tests if using ultrasound during an office hysteroscopy helps women who previously couldn't have the procedure due to a narrow cervix. It aims to make the exam safer and more successful.
This study tests whether having a full bladder and using ultrasound help insert an IUD without a clamp. It aims to make the procedure more comfortable.
This study looks at whether gentle suction can help safely remove an IUD when using a menstrual cup at the same time. It may help if your IUD needs removal, and the researchers are testing a specific removal method.
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 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 trial compares two surgical methods (suction curettage vs. hysteroscopy) for removing early pregnancy tissue in women who conceived through IVF, to see which is safer and has fewer side effects.
