NCT03870711: 10% Lidocaine Spray for Intrauterine Device Insertion

Summary

Intrauterine device (IUD) insertion is a procedure that can cause pain. Fear of pain during IUD insertion is a barrier to use of this method. Currently, there is no recommended standard method for reducing pain during this procedure. From Cochrane Database 2015, some lidocaine formulations, such as lidocaine spray, lidocaine gel and lidocaine paracervical injection, could reduce pain during IUD insertion, but there is limited data on effect of lidocaine spray on reducing pain during insertion of IUD.
