View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
The intrauterine device (IUD) is a reversible contraceptive method with good efficacy and long-lasting action. One of the obstacles to IUD insertion, both for healthcare professionals and patients, is the fear of painful insertion. There is little data in the literature on the pain experienced by patients, and even less in relation to their parity. Several studies have been conducted and show that nulliparous women seemed to experience more intense pain compared to multiparous women (2.7 vs 1.9 p\<0.05)
