Methoxyflurane for pain relief during hysteroscopy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a painkiller called methoxyflurane to see if it works well for pain during hysteroscopy, a procedure that looks inside the uterus. If you are having a hysteroscopy for abnormal or postmenopausal bleeding, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
