Pain relief with TENS and tramadol for egg retrieval
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial is testing whether adding a device called TENS to a pain medicine (tramadol) can help reduce pain during an egg retrieval procedure. If you are having in vitro fertilization (IVF) and will get tramadol for pain, this study may be for you.
