About this study

To compare the efficacy of intrauterine lidocaine and oral naproxen sodium on discomfort and pain of patients undergoing intrauterine device insertion.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with women that will be recruited from our outpatient obstetrics and gynecology clinic. Women desiring intrauterine device insertion will be invited to participate.

The investigators plan to recruit women desiring intrauterine device insertion into one of four groups: A: placebo/normal saline infusion; B: placebo/lidocaine infusion; C: Saline infusion/ naproxen; D: lidocaine infusion/ naproxen.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Pain Control With IUD Insertion

    visual analog scale (0-10) as assessed by patient within 30 minutes after IUD insertion. Scale is from a minimum of 0, with maximum of 10 with higher scores denoting more pain

    Measured: within 30 minutes after IUD insertion

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Physician Perceived Pain Control During IUD Insertion

    visual analog scale (0-3) as assessed by physician within 30 minutes after IUD insertion Scale is from a minimum of 0, with maximum of 3 with higher scores denoting more pain

    Measured: within 30 minutes after IUD insertion

  2. Patient Satisfaction With IUD

    Patient satisfaction as rated on a 1-5 scale 30 days post insertion. Scale of 5 means highly satisfied, 1 means unsatisfied.

    Measured: 30 days post insertion

  3. Difficulty IUD Insertion

    as rated by the physician. Very easy/easy were rated as "easy" whereas difficult/very difficult is difficult.

    Measured: within 30 minutes of IUD insertion

  4. Perceived Pain 30 Days Post Insertion

    survey patient 30 days later to determine her recollection of pain during insertion (0-10); 10 being the most pain. One patient had no IUD initially inserted and was not included; each arm had patients lost to follow up (3 in placebo arm, 2 in naproxen arm, 4 in placebo/oral medication arm).

    Measured: 30 days post IUD insertion
