NCT05252117

Brief Summary

The use of intrauterine device (IUD) in Brazil is still not very significant and one of the reasons is the fear of feeling pain during its insertion procedure. Articaine is an amide-linked local anesthetic, its plasma half-life is shorter than that of most other amide-type anesthetics, which makes it theoretically favorable in relation to systemic toxicity.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Pain assessment

    analog verbal scale numbered from 0 to 3

    15 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • sociodemographic data

    10 minutes

Study Arms (2)

Articaine 4%

EXPERIMENTAL

With the patient in the lithotomy position, asepsis of the thighs, vulva and vagina will be performed with aqueous chlorhexidine; insertion of vaginal speculum; puncture in the uterine cervix, at the 12h point, injecting 1.8 ml of articaine. After a latency of five minutes, the procedure to insert the IUD will start with clamping the cervix at 12 hours with the Pozzi clamp, followed by rectification of the uterus and hysterometry with the hysterometer. After confirming the hysterometry, the IUD will be inserted with its own applicator and the excess wire will be cut.

Drug: Articaine Hydrochloride 40 MG/ML

Mepivacaíne 3%

Model Details: Patients will be allocated, according to randomization into one of two groups, after gynecological evaluation at the Gynecology Outpatient Clinic of Hospital das Clínicas Samuel Libânio, in Pouso Alegre. They will be informed about the study and invited to participate and, accepting, signing the Informed Consent Form. Randomization will be followed to define which drug will be used in the patient who will undergo the procedure determined by the study, in a modified lithotomy position, always by the same examiner.
