Primary outcomePrimary: Pain With Intrauterine Device (IUD) Placement — 54; 33 mm
Summary
Intrauterine device (IUD) placement can be painful for patients during and after the procedure. Fear of pain from IUD insertion can be a barrier to obtaining this highly effective long acting reversible contraception. Currently there are no proven effective methods for reduction of pain during and after placement of modern IUDs. Paracervical block pain may decrease this placement pain.
