Numbing spray for pain during fallopian tube test
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a numbing spray (lidocaine-prilocaine) reduces pain during a hysterosalpingogram (HSG), an X-ray test that checks if your fallopian tubes are open. If you are undergoing HSG for infertility, this spray might make the procedure more comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
