Pain relief during hysteroscopy for abnormal uterine bleeding
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a pain-relief medication called methoxyflurane during a hysteroscopy procedure to see if it helps reduce discomfort. It may be a good option if you need this procedure for abnormal or postmenopausal bleeding and cannot use standard sedation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to have abnormal uterine bleeding (heavy, irregular, or unexpected) or bleeding after menopause that requires a hysteroscopy (a camera test inside the uterus).
- You must not have fibroids that need surgery to remove them.
- You must not be allergic to fentanyl or midazolam (sedative medications).
- Your BMI (body mass index) must be 42 or lower.
