Official title: Diclofenac Potassium With or Without Vaginal Dinoprostone Prior to Hysterosalpingography in Primarily Infertile Patients: a Randomized Controlled Trial

The aim of our study is to determine the efficacy of oral diclofenac potassium with or without vaginal dinoprostone prior to hysterosalpingography in primarily infertile patients on the pain scores during HSG.

Read the detailed description

hysterosalpingography is a diagnosis procedure in the evaluation of infertile women and considered to be the traditional and the gold standard in the assessment of the patency of the fallopian tubes. The major disadvantage of hysterosalpingography is pain. In a study reported the patients complained of moderate to severe pain during the procedure. It is reported that some patients undergoing hysterosalpingography was more stressful and anxiety and effect on pain scores.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean pain score during hysterosalpigography by visual analog scale

    pain during hysterosalpigography assessed by the visual analog scale from 0=no pain to 10 = the worst pain imaginable

    Measured: 15 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Intensity of pain

    Pain intensity will be assessed by visual analogue scale 30 minutes after the procedure.visual analogue scale ranging from 0 to 10

    Measured: 30 minutes after the procedure
