Weighted Blankets for IUD Insertion

Enrolling by invitation · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Intra-uterine Device Placement

In brief

When having an intrauterine device placed in an outpatient clinic, patients frequently feel anxiety related to the procedure. This study is designed to determine if the use of a small, weighted blanket, placed over the patient's chest and shoulders, would help decrease that anxiety, as well as pain related to the procedure.
