Study Finds Pain-Reduction Method During Contraceptive Procedure
Researchers have discovered that the use of a local anesthetic called mepivacaine can significantly reduce the pain associated with the insertion of an intrauterine device (IUD), a reliable and commonly used method of contraception. The study, which involved 370 women who had never given birth, showed that the average level of pain decreased from 58.6 to 43.8 when the anesthetic was used, and the percentage of women who found the pain tolerable increased from 91.4% to 98.3%. This method is easy to apply during routine doctor visits, and the results suggest that pain reduction could have important clinical benefits worldwide.
