Music before copper IUD insertion in women who haven't given birth
This study looks at whether listening to music before getting a copper IUD placed can reduce pain in women who have never given birth. If you're eligible, you'll be randomly assigned to either listen to music or not during the insertion procedure, and we'll measure your pain and satisfaction.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests if a small device called TENS (which uses mild electrical pulses) can reduce pain when getting an IUD placed. If you are coming to MUSC Women's Health for an IUD insertion and choose a specific type, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether a small device called a TENS unit can reduce pain during IUD insertion. The TENS unit sends gentle electrical pulses through pads on your skin to help block pain signals, and you'll be part of a group that uses it during the procedure.
This study tests if acupuncture (thin needles placed in the wrist) can reduce pain when a copper IUD (a small T-shaped birth control device) is inserted into the womb. If you are getting a copper IUD, this might help you feel less discomfort during the procedure.
This study tests if a gentle vibrating device placed on the belly can reduce pain during the insertion of an intrauterine device (IUD), a type of birth control. If you are scheduled for an IUD placement, this might help make the procedure more comfortable.
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 if light therapy (photobiomodulation) can reduce pain when an IUD is inserted. It might help women who are anxious about pain during the procedure.
