Plain-English translation of NCT07315646 on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗ ·
This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether using ultrasound guidance during intrauterine device (IUS) insertion causes less pain than the traditional insertion method. An IUS is a small device placed in the uterus to prevent pregnancy or treat heavy bleeding. The study will compare the pain you experience during insertion using the newer ultrasound-guided technique versus the standard approach.
Many women avoid choosing an intrauterine device because they worry about pain during insertion. The newer ultrasound-guided technique eliminates the need for certain instruments that can contribute to discomfort, so researchers want to find out if this method truly reduces pain and improves the experience for patients.

You will be randomly assigned to receive either the traditional IUS insertion technique or the new ultrasound-guided technique. You won't know which technique you're receiving during the procedure. During insertion, you'll rate your pain on a 0–10 scale, and the study will check that the device is positioned correctly. You'll also report any pain you experience during the first week after insertion.
