Pain relief during office hysteroscopy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests different ways to reduce pain during an office hysteroscopy, a procedure where a doctor looks inside the uterus with a small camera. The goal is to find the most comfortable anesthetic approach for patients undergoing this common diagnostic test.
