Needle-free numbing for vulvar biopsy
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a needle-free device that numbs the skin before a vulvar biopsy, which may reduce pain compared to standard numbing injections. If you're scheduled for a vulvar biopsy, this could make the procedure more comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled to have a vulvar biopsy in a gynecologist's office.
- You are able to give informed consent (with interpreter services if needed).

This study compares two ways of applying a numbing tool (“tenaculum”) during an IUD insertion or an endometrial biopsy to see which one causes less pain. If you’re scheduled for one of these procedures, it may help improve how discomfort is managed.
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 a device called J-Tip that numbs the skin before a paracentesis (a procedure to drain fluid from your belly). It's for adults with cirrhosis and ascites in the emergency department or hospital, and aims to make the procedure less painful.
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 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.
This study tests two methods, a mild electrical nerve stimulation and a vibrating device, used during the numbing injection for skin surgery to see if they reduce pain. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the methods during their procedure.
