Brief Summary

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

A randomized double-blind placebo controlled trial comparing the effect of a combined ketorolac and lidocaine paracervical block with a standard lidocaine paracervical block on procedure related pain with office hysteroscopies.

Detailed Description

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

A randomized double-blind placebo controlled trial comparing the effect of a combined ketorolac and lidocaine paracervical block with a standard lidocaine paracervical block on procedure related pain with office hysteroscopies. Primary Objective: To study the effect of a combined ketorolac and lidocaine paracervical block on procedure related pain with office hysteroscopy. Secondary Objectives: To study the effect of a combined ketorolac and lidocaine paracervical block on patient satisfaction and post procedure pain. To assess for major adverse events with the use of a combined ketorolac and lidocaine paracervical block for office hysteroscopy when compared with a standard lidocaine paracervical block. Primary Endpoint: Pain on a 100 mm visual analogue scale during cervical dilation. Secondary Endpoints: Pain on a 100 mm visual analogue scale during the paracervical block, during the office hysteroscopy, immediately after the hysteroscopy, and 30 minutes after the procedure. Other secondary endpoints include patient satisfaction, frequency of procedure termination, and adverse events. Patients assigned female at birth, booked for office hysteroscopy at Mount Sinai Hospital faculty practice associates. Patients scheduled for office hysteroscopy through seeing a Gynecologist at either 5 E 98th Street Faculty Practice Associates or 1176 5th Avenue Gynecology Practice. 5 E 98th Street primarily cares for privately insured patients, while 1176 5th Avenue cares for a mix of privately insured as well as patients insured with Medicaid. Regardless of recruitment site, all office hysteroscopies will be performed at the 5 E 98th Street facility. A randomized controlled trial designed to investigate if ketorolac added to a paracervical block reduces procedure related pain. Patient will be randomized to a standard paracervical block versus a paracervical block with ketorolac added. The study will be conducted over two years. Patients will be followed for the duration of the two-year study period.
