Numbing cream for iud insertion and biopsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a numbing cream applied to the cervix can reduce pain during IUD insertion or endometrial biopsy. It compares the numbing cream to a placebo to see if it makes the procedure more comfortable.

This trial tests if a pain-relief medication called methoxyflurane can help women who haven't had children before feel less pain during IUD insertion or a uterine biopsy. If you're getting one of these procedures and are not currently breastfeeding or using strong painkillers, this study might be for you.
This study tests whether a cream placed with a special cap or disc can reduce pain during IUD insertion. It may be an option for people who are getting an IUD and want more comfort during the procedure.
This study tests whether a small device called a TENS unit can reduce pain during IUD insertion. The TENS unit sends gentle electrical pulses through pads on your skin to help block pain signals, and you'll be part of a group that uses it during the procedure.
This trial tests if a special device called Carevix can make IUD insertion less painful. You may be able to join if you are scheduled to get an IUD placed and your provider plans to use the Carevix device.
This study tests whether using a buffered (less acidic) numbing medicine reduces pain during IUD placement compared to the standard numbing medicine. If you qualify, you may experience less discomfort during the procedure.
This study tests whether a numbing injection (lidocaine) in the cervix can reduce pain during IUD placement. It's for women who have never had a vaginal birth and are getting their first IUD.
