简要总结
When having an intrauterine device placed in an outpatient clinic, patients frequently feel anxiety related to the procedure. This study is designed to determine if the use of a small, weighted blanket, placed over the patient's chest and shoulders, would help decrease that anxiety, as well as pain related to the procedure.
详细描述
Patients scheduled for an IUD placement in this specific outpatient clinic will be approached by the study nurse to gauge interest in participating. Consented patients will be randomized to either receive a weighted blanket or a non-weighted blanket. Patients will rate their anxiety on a 100 mm visual-analog scale and pain on a 0-10 verbal scale.
