About this study
Official title: A Further Step Towards Painless Intrauterine Device Insertion, a Randomized Control Trial
Different studies have been made in an attempt to reduce the pain and the duration of the process of outpatient insertion of the intrauterine device. in this trial, the investigators aim to insert the IUD under ultrasonographic guidance, which can help to reduce the pain, decrease the process of insertion, in addition, it reduces the incidence of malposition of IUD as well as the risk of complications.
- Conditions
- Contraception
- Being tested
- intrauterine device TCu 380A
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
intrauterine device TCu 380ADevice
Also called TCu 380A
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Ultrasound guided group | Experimental | the female will be asked to be full bladder. the trans-abdominal probe will be placed by an assistant on the suprapubic region. under speculum examination, the intrauterine device IUD (TCu 380A) will be placed till it reaches the fundus of the uterus and then released. Receives: Device: intrauterine device TCu 380A |
| Non ultrasound guided group | Experimental | the intrauterine device TCu 380A will be inserted in the conventional method, and checked afterwards by transvaginal ultrasound. Receives: Device: intrauterine device TCu 380A |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Assessment of degree of pain during IUD insertion
Pain will be assessed by the use of visual analog scale, Pain rating scale
Measured: 6 months
