Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to determine whether full bladder IUD insertion without vulsellum or uterine sound under ultrasound guidance is associated with less pain compared with the standard technique of IUD insertion .

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The intrauterine device (IUD) is an effective method of contraception. Pain experienced during IUD insertion is one of the main causes that limits its widespread use.

Pain during IUD insertion is caused by insertion of cusco vaginal speculum, sounding the uterus, application of vulsellum to grasp the cervix, the passage of the inserter tube through the cervical canal and uterine cavity..

In order to minimize the pain associated with IUD insertion , several studies reported that the use of ultrasound to guide the insertion of IUD into uterine cavity was associated with less pain and more accurate placement of IUD, other studies reported that filling the bladder during IUD insertion minimized the pain associated with IUD insertion.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Vulsellum group

The patients are asked to empty the bladder before IUD insertion. The vulsellum is applied on the cervix, sounding of the uterus is done and the IUD is inserted according to the standard technique of IUD insertion.

Pain intensity is assessed after the procedure using a visual analogue scale.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Vulsellum group

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

The patients are asked to empty the bladder before IUD insertion. The vulsellum is applied on the cervix, sounding of the uterus is done and the IUD is inserted according to the standard technique of IUD insertion.

Pain intensity is assessed after the procedure using a visual analogue scale.

Ultrasound group

During the two hour period before IUD insertion, the patients are asked to drink about one liter of water and to avoid micturition.

Abdominal ultrasound is used to obtain a sagittal view of the uterus and the IUD is introduced into the uterine cavity under ultrasound guidance.

The vulsellum and uterine sound are not used during IUD insertion. Pain intensity is assessed after the procedure using a visual analogue scale.
