Lidocaine Spray 10% Versus Oral Ibuprofen Tablets in Pain Control During Copper Intrauterine Device Insertion

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Lidocaine Toxicity
• Interventions: Diagnostic Test: The spray form may provide easy application and better patient acceptance than other forms of lidocaine administration

• Registration Number: NCT05241496
• Lead Sponsor: Marina Ramsis Aziz Ghaly

Brief Summary

The intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) is the most commonly used form of reversible contraception worldwide; the predominant type of product, the copper IUD (a plastic T-shaped device with copper affixed to it) was developed over 30 years ago and has become the standard bearer for intrauterine contraception, due to its long-term effectiveness, safety and affordability .

Inconsistent use and discontinuation of contraceptives are major causes of unintended pregnancy . The failure rate of the patch or ring is 20 times higher than that of long acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) . Increasing acceptability and use of LARC methods like the intrauterine device (IUD) is an important strategy to reduce the risk of unintended pregnancy

Detailed Description

The aim of this study is to This study is designed to compare between lidocaine spray 10% and oral ibuprofen as an adequate method for decreasing pain during copper intrauterine contraceptive device insertion .

Research question:

Which of both drugs ( local lidocaine spray 10% or oral ibuprofen tab.) is more effective in decreasing pain during IUD insertion ? Research Hypothesis In this current study, we hypothesize that using of local cervical lidocaine spray 10% prior to IUD insertion will decrease the pain more effectively than ibuprofen tablet 400 mg.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Marina Ramsis	The spray form may provide easy application and better patient acceptance than other forms of lidocaine administration	In the other group, 70 women will be randomly assigned for ibuprofen; participants will take 1 tablet (400mg) immediately \& clinicians will wait at least 45 minutes before inserting the copper IUD

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Self-reported pain score [ Time Frame: immediately after IUD insertion ]	immediately after IUD insertion	The visual analog scale (VAS ) pain score reported by participants immediately after IUD insertion .Pain scores will be measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS) consisting of a 10 cm horizontal straight line on which 0 cm corresponds to no pain and 10 cm to the worst pain. VAS is rated as 0 for no pain, 1-3 for mild pain, 4-6 for average pain, and 7-9 for severe pain and 10 for extremely severe pain an individual can experience .; A research assistant standing beside the woman will hold the VAS sheet for the participant to select the point that corresponds to the level of pain she will experience after IUD insertion .

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Immediate complications related to IUD insertion [ Time Frame: one day after insertion]:	one day after insertion	Immediate complications related to IUD insertion \[ Time Frame: one day after insertion\]: The immediate complications related to IUD insertion such as : 1. Failure of insertion .; 2. Vasovagal reaction .; 3. The number of women who will need analgesics after insertion.
