About this study

Official title: Clinical Outcomes of Vaginal Isonicotinic Acid Hydrazide (INH) Administration Prior to Levonorgestrel Releasing Intrauterine System Insertion in Women Delivered Only by Elective Cesarean Section: a Randomized Double Blinded Clinical Trial

To investigate whether vaginal isonicotinic acid hydrazide (INH) administered before the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system(IUs) insertion reduces failed insertions, insertion-related complications, and pain in Women With no Previous Vaginal Delivery.

Read the detailed description

Long-acting reversible contraception methods are highly effective methods for reduction of the unplanned pregnancy rate worldwide. The intrauterine device is a single procedure that provides reliable, effective and long term contraception for many women. However, the insertion procedure can be associated with a troublesome degree of pain that prevent some women from choosing its use. Different interventions have been described to decrease pain perception during intrauterine device insertion with no agreement on an effective one.

Being tested
INH, Placebo Comparator

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing INH in people with IUCD Complication, run by Aswan University Hospital at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 May 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The difference in pain scores during intrauterine device insertion (time frame: 10 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 May 2022.
