Pain Management for Gynecologic Procedures Using a Risk-Stratification Pain Calculator

This study is looking at a new way to manage pain during in-office gynecologic procedures like IUD insertions or biopsies. Researchers are testing a "Pain Calculator," which is a questionnaire you'd answer with a research team member. This calculator uses information like your age and past experiences to estimate your risk of severe pain. Based on this risk, specific pain medications would be chosen for your procedure. The study wants to see if using this calculator to decide on pain medications improves your pain scores and satisfaction compared to when a doctor uses their best judgment. You could join if you are at least 18, speak English, have a smart device, and are having one of the listed gynecologic procedures.
