This study looks at how women feel during an HSG (an X-ray test for blocked fallopian tubes) and whether a medication like nitroglycerin or lidocaine can help prevent pain from tubal spasms. You may be eligible if you are about to have this test.
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.
This trial tests if a numbing injection in the cervix reduces pain during a saline ultrasound that checks the uterus and fallopian tubes. It might help make the procedure more comfortable 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.
