Numbing spray for pain during infertility X-ray
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests if a numbing spray (lidocaine and prilocaine) can reduce pain during a special X-ray called hysterosalpingography (HSG). The X-ray checks if your fallopian tubes are open, and this spray may make the procedure more comfortable.
