New treatment option for Pain During Saline Infusion Sonogram
Official title Paracervical Block for Pain Reduction in Saline Infusion Sonograms
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07048769
What this study is testing
What is Lidocaine?
Lidocaine is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for pain during saline infusion sonogram.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- Inadequate pain management during gynecologic procedures is a growing women's health concern, especially as it reduces access to care for patients who may subsequently avoid further treatment. Although recent evidence has shown that local anesthesia reduces pain during certain gynecologic procedures, such as intrauterine (IUD) placements, there is still limited evidence on the effectiveness of local anesthesia during saline infusion sonograms (SIS).
- Phase 4: studies an already-approved treatment
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance.
