Ketorolac and Lidocaine for Pain During Hysteroscopy
This study is looking at ways to reduce pain during an office hysteroscopy (a procedure to examine the inside of the uterus). Researchers are comparing two types of paracervical block (a local anesthetic injection near the cervix): one with lidocaine only, and another with both lidocaine and ketorolac (an anti-inflammatory pain medication). The goal is to see if adding ketorolac helps more with pain during the procedure. You might be able to join if you are a woman, at least 18 years old, and scheduled for an office hysteroscopy at Mount Sinai Hospital faculty practice associates. You cannot join if you have allergies to lidocaine or ketorolac, or certain other medical conditions. The study aims to enroll 60 participants. The current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving 60 participants. This means participants are randomly assigned to receive one of the two treatments, and neither you nor your doctor will know which treatment you are receiving.
- What's involved
- Not specified in the trial record.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Pain levels will be measured during the procedure, immediately after, and 30 minutes after the procedure.
