The Effect of Intracervical Lidocaine Injection Versus Topical Lidocaine Gel on the Pain Experienced by Patients Undergoing Tenaculum Application to the Cervix at the Time of an Office Gynecologic Procedure
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Intracervical Lidocaine Injection and Topical Lidocaine Gel for Cervical Pain and Pelvic Pain. Completed, enrolled 74 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of an intracervical lidocaine injection versus topical lidocaine gel on the pain experienced by patients undergoing tenaculum application to the cervix during office gynecologic procedures. This study will also evaluate how satisfied women are with the method of pain control used. The researchers hypothesize that: 1. There is less pain perceived by patients undergoing placement of a tenaculum on the cervix when a lidocaine injection is used compared to a topical lidocaine gel. 2. Patients are more satisfied with pain control during the overall experience of undergoing tenaculum placement on the cervix when a lidocaine injection is used compared to a topical lidocaine gel.
