Pain relief before egg retrieval in IVF
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests two common pain relievers (indomethacin and paracetamol) given before egg retrieval to see if they help reduce pain during the procedure. It may help you feel more comfortable during your IVF treatment.

This study tests whether combining a nerve-stimulation device (TENS) with a standard pain-relieving injection (tramadol) reduces pain during the egg retrieval step of IVF. If the combination works, it could provide better comfort during the procedure.
This study tests whether a common painkiller (ibuprofen) alone or combined with another drug (hyoscine) can reduce pain during an outpatient hysteroscopy, a procedure to look inside the uterus. It may help you feel more comfortable 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 Phase 3 study tests whether daily low-dose aspirin can reduce the risk of preeclampsia (dangerous high blood pressure in pregnancy) and improve pregnancy outcomes for people who got pregnant using assisted reproduction like IVF. It mainly targets pregnancies early on (about 9–14 weeks).
This trial tests if using calming words (verbal analgesia) during a hysteroscopy can reduce pain compared to standard care. It is for women with primary infertility who need this procedure to check the uterus.
This study tests different medication approaches to help women who had a low number of eggs in a previous IVF cycle produce more eggs this time. The goal is to find a better stimulation method for women with this 'low response' pattern.
