Light therapy for pain during IUD insertion
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
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 a light therapy (photobiomodulation) to see if it can reduce pain and improve sexual function in women who have painful sex. The treatment is a non-invasive light device applied to the pelvic area.
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 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 trial tests whether adding a buffer to lidocaine reduces pain during IUD insertion for women who have never given birth. It may help make the procedure more comfortable.
This study compares two ways to numb the cervix during IUD insertion: a numbing cream applied to the skin versus an injection. Both methods also include over-the-counter pain relievers. The goal is to find which approach works best to manage discomfort during the procedure.
