NCT00811187

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of paracervical block for pain relief in office hysteroscopy - particularly with the placement of the Essure device. Subjects will be randomized to receive either paracervical block or saline, and will have pain assessments performed throughout the procedure. Subjects and physicians will be blinded to group assignments.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Assessment of Pain on a 10-point Visual Analog Pain Scale During the Procedure.

    This used a visual analog scale from 0 (minimum) to 10 (maximum) that was measured as centimeters. A higher score would indicate more pain, therefore, a worse outcome. Pain was assessed at each step that could potentially elicit pain, specifically when there was direct physical manipulation.

    During Procedure

Study Arms (2)

Lidocaine paracervical block

EXPERIMENTAL

5cc 1% lidocaine injection in each paracervical region

Drug: Lidocaine paracervical block

Saline placebo injection

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

5cc Normal Saline injection in each paracervical region

Drug: Normal Saline

Interventions

5cc 1% lidocaine injection in each paracervical region

Lidocaine paracervical block

5cc Normal Saline injection in each paracervical region
