Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effect of Paracervical Block Volume on Pain Control for Dilation and Curettage.o (NCT NCT03636451)

NCT ID: NCT03636451

Last Updated: 2023-04-20

Results Overview

Distance (mm) from the left of the 100-mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) (reflecting magnitude of pain) recorded at time of cervical dilation. Pain will be assessed using a 100 mm visual analogue scale with the anchors 0 = none, 100 mm = worst imaginable.

Recruitment status

COMPLETED

Study phase

PHASE3

Target enrollment

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Once during the procedure on the day of recruitment, approximately one minute. During procedure at time of cervical dilation.

Population: Data missing for one participant in the 20cc group because cervical dilation was not performed.

Distance (mm) from the left of the 100-mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) (reflecting magnitude of pain) recorded at time of cervical dilation. Pain will be assessed using a 100 mm visual analogue scale with the anchors 0 = none, 100 mm = worst imaginable.
