Verbal Analgesia During Copper IUD Insertion After Cesarean Delivery

This open-label, parallel-group randomized controlled trial evaluated whether structured verbal analgesia reduces pain during Copper T380A intrauterine device insertion compared with standardized neutral communication in women with previous cesarean delivery and no prior vaginal birth. Eligible women requesting Copper T380A insertion were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either a structured supportive communication protocol or standardized neutral procedural communication during insertion. The primary outcome was pain intensity measured on a 0-10 numerical rating scale immediately after IUD release in the uterine cavity, with pain at the final attempted insertion step used for failed insertions.
