Pain Control for Intrauterine Device Insertion: A Randomized Trial of 1% Lidocaine Paracervical Block
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if a paracervical block containing 1% lidocaine
administered prior to IUD insertion reduces insertion pain. The hypothesis is that women
receiving paracervical analgesia will experience less pain during IUD insertion than those
who do not receive such analgesia.
