Nitrous oxide for comfort during cervical cerclage removal
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether breathing nitrous oxide (laughing gas) can reduce pain and anxiety when a cervical cerclage (a stitch in the cervix) is removed. It may help you feel more comfortable during the procedure.

This trial tests whether applying a numbing cream to the cervix before inserting a balloon catheter makes the procedure less painful for women being induced into labor. If you are scheduled for labor induction with a balloon, this study may help reduce your discomfort.
This study tests whether using laughing gas (nitrous oxide) plus a calming video on a screen can reduce pain and anxiety during a quick procedure to look inside the uterus (hysteroscopy). If you are having this procedure, the trial may help you feel more comfortable.
This study looks at whether self-adjusting nitrous oxide (a calming gas) with oxygen can be safely and comfortably used during a vasectomy, and how people experience it. You may be offered the gas to see how it fits into care during the procedure.
This trial compares self-administered nitrous oxide gas with a placebo to see if it helps reduce pain and anxiety during a vasectomy done in the doctor's office. It aims to find a better way to manage discomfort without stronger medications.
This Phase 3 study tests whether a preventive numbing medicine injection before a vaginal hysterectomy (using the vNOTES approach) can reduce pain afterward. It may help with comfort and recovery after surgery for non-cancer reasons.
This study tests if using lidocaine gel on the cervix before placing a ripening balloon can reduce pain for pregnant women at full term. It may help women who want this balloon to start labor feel more comfortable.
