This study tests whether a numbing injection (lidocaine) in the cervix can reduce pain during IUD placement. It's for women who have never had a vaginal birth and are getting their first IUD.
This study tests whether a numbing gel (lidocaine) works better than a placebo gel (fake gel) to reduce pain during IUD insertion. If you are getting an IUD for the first time and have never given birth, 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 compares two ways of applying a numbing tool (“tenaculum”) during an IUD insertion or an endometrial biopsy to see which one causes less pain. If you’re scheduled for one of these procedures, it may help improve how discomfort is managed.
This trial tests whether giving ketorolac through an IV can lessen pain after a sedated IUD placement. If you’re scheduled for sedated IUD placement, this may help reduce post-procedure discomfort.
This trial is testing a numbing cream (lidocaine and prilocaine) applied to the cervix to reduce pain during IUD insertion or endometrial biopsy. The study aims to see if this cream makes the procedure more comfortable for patients.
