Assessing Pain and Effectiveness of Carevix Device for IUD Insertions (NCT07290517)
The Carevix Device: Assessing Pain and Effectiveness of a Suction-based Cervical Stabilizer for IUD Insertions in the Clinic Setting: a Randomized, Controlled Trial (CARE)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate patient-reported pain, bleeding, and device efficiency along with provider satisfaction and ease of use between IUD insertions using a suction cervical stabilizer (new device, FDA approved, atraumatic) and single-tooth tenaculum (standard, traumatic). Our aims are to: * assess and compare patient-reported pain during IUD insertion between the Carevix device and tenaculum. * assess predictors of pain scores including between nulliparous and multiparous patients * assess provider-reported ease of use and satisfaction Participants (including providers) will: * be randomized to receive one device to complete the IUD procedure * complete a survey following the procedure
