The Impact of Pain Scores on Intrauterine Lidocaine Versus Normal Saline Infusion at the Time of IUD Placement

Completed · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Pain

In brief

The study hypothesis is that infusion of 2% lidocaine at the time of IUD placement will reduce pain scores related to that procedure. In a double blinded randomized trial of 60 women receiving either normal saline or lidocaine infused through an endometrial aspirator, pain scores will be obtained for each step of the IUD placement procedure and for the total experience.
