Summary

Investigators aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the use of local lidocaine spray application to make routine intrauterine intrauterine device application more painless.

Detailed description

As a standard, no anaesthesia is applied to the patient during intrauterine device application in outpatient clinic conditions. Patients can usually tolerate the procedure even if there is minimal pain and discomfort. In patients with low pain tolerance, the procedure can be terminated before the application can be performed and the application can be repeated under local or general anaesthesia. Local anaesthetic sprays are routinely and comfortably used in episiotomy repair, upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopy and intraoral procedures. In our study, investigators aimed to demonstrate the efficacy of local spray anaesthesia without side effects for the relief of pain that occurs in some patients during intrauterine device application by comparing it with placebo.
