Pain relief during egg retrieval for fertility treatment
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking indomethacin (a pain reliever) and acetaminophen before egg retrieval during IVF helps reduce pain and discomfort. Egg retrieval is a procedure where eggs are collected from the ovaries for fertility treatment, and this trial aims to find better ways to manage pain during the procedure.

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.
This study tests whether listening to music during a fertility test called hysterosalpingography (an X-ray of the uterus and fallopian tubes) can help reduce pain and anxiety. If you are a woman with primary infertility and about to have this test, you may be able to join.
This trial tests if virtual reality can help reduce pain or anxiety during the first egg retrieval procedure. If you are having your first egg retrieval, you may be able to use VR goggles during the procedure.
This study tests whether using a virtual reality (VR) headset during egg freezing can help reduce pain. If you are having your eggs retrieved to preserve your fertility, you may be able to take part and wear a VR device to see if it makes the procedure more comfortable.
This study tests three different ways to manage pain during a hysterosalpingography, an X-ray procedure to check the fallopian tubes as part of infertility evaluation. It aims to find the most effective and comfortable pain relief method for women undergoing this procedure.
This study tests if a numbing spray (lidocaine and prilocaine) can reduce pain during a special X-ray called hysterosalpingography (HSG). The X-ray checks if your fallopian tubes are open, and this spray may make the procedure more comfortable.
