About this study
Official title: Introducing Trans- Abdominal Guided Intrauterine Device Insertion, a Single Blinded Randomized Control Trial
A previous trial performed by our research team, in order to reduce the pain associated with intrauterine device insertion, compared the novel technique of IUD insertion under the guidance of the trans-abdominal sonography to the traditional method of IUD insertion. It came up with the conclusion that the TAS guided IUD insertion is significantly lower in pain score and time taken for insertion, when compared with the traditional method. In this study our researchers aim to abolish the distracting effect of the technician and the TAS probe (which might have interfered with previous results).
- Conditions
- Contraception
- Being tested
- intrauterine device TCu 380A, Trans-abdominal sonography
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
Trans-abdominal sonographyRadiation
Also called TAS
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| TAS guided IUD insertion | 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; Radiation: Trans-abdominal sonography |
| Traditional IUD insertion | Experimental | the intrauterine device TCu 380A will be inserted in the conventional method, and checked afterwards by transvaginal ultrasound. the trans-abdominal probe will also be placed by an assistant on the suprapubic region ( the image would be on freeze mode) as it is not actually used , it is just to make the same settings for the participant females. Receives: Device: intrauterine device TCu 380A |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
degree of pain during IUD insertion
Pain will be assessed by the use of visual analog scale (VAS).
Measured: 4 months
