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 study compares two ways to reduce pain when an IUD (birth control device) is placed in the uterus. One method uses a numbing cream on the cervix, and the other uses a numbing injection, and both are combined with over-the-counter pain relievers. The goal is to find which approach is more comfortable for you.
This study looks at whether listening to music before getting a copper IUD placed can reduce pain in women who have never given birth. If you're eligible, you'll be randomly assigned to either listen to music or not during the insertion procedure, and we'll measure your pain and satisfaction.
This study tests if a small device called TENS (which uses mild electrical pulses) can reduce pain when getting an IUD placed. If you are coming to MUSC Women's Health for an IUD insertion and choose a specific type, you may be able to join.
This study tests if light therapy (photobiomodulation) can reduce pain when an IUD is inserted. It might help women who are anxious about pain during the procedure.
This study tests if a gentle vibrating device placed on the belly can reduce pain during the insertion of an intrauterine device (IUD), a type of birth control. If you are scheduled for an IUD placement, this might help make the procedure more comfortable.
