Virtual Reality for Pain Reduction During IUD Insertion

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) as a non-pharmacological distraction intervention during intrauterine device (IUD) insertion. IUD insertion is commonly associated with pain and anxiety, which may negatively affect patient experience and acceptance of the procedure. In this quasi-experimental study, women undergoing IUD insertion were allocated into two groups: a virtual reality group receiving immersive audiovisual distraction during the procedure and a control group receiving standard care. Pain intensity and anxiety levels were assessed and compared between the two groups. The findings of this study are expected to support the use of VR as a safe, simple, and non-invasive method to reduce procedural pain and anxiety and improve patient satisfaction during IUD insertion.

The Effectiveness of Topical Prilocaine-Lidocaine Cream Plus Acetaminophen and Naproxen Compared to Lidocaine Injection Plus Acetaminophen and Naproxen to Manage Pain During IntraUterine Device Insertion

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if two pain medications used to treat pain during intrauterine device insertions work in persons with a uterus. It will also learn about the safety of the two study medications. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does prilocaine lidocaine, acetaminophen and naproxen or lidocaine injection, acetaminophen and naproxen reduce pain during intrauterine device insertions. Researchers will compare prilocaine lidocaine cream and lidocaine injection to see if it treats pain during an intrauterine device insertion. Participants will be asked to: * take acetaminophen and naproxen prior to the procedure. * receive either prilocaine-lidocaine or lidocaine injection during the procedure * to fill out a survey on past medical history, anxiety, and pain.
