Efficacy of Ketoprofen Before Intrauterine Device Insertion
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
IUD can cause pain and discomfort in several ways: Use of the tenaculum to grasp the cervix and straighten the uterus for proper insertion; trans-cervical actions including measuring uterine depth, inserting the IUD insertion tube, and removing the tube; and placement of the device in the uterus.

Phase 3 |
Detailed Description
To minimize the discomfort and the hazards of an IUD insertion, several measures have been proposed including NSAIDs, anxiolytics, and local anesthetics in the form of intracervical gel, cervical and para-cervical block, but there have not done enough studies about their effectiveness. According to the review published in the Cochrane, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and misoprostol are not effective on reducing an IUD insertion pain.
