Summary

"This trial compared the pain relief effects of using a combination of ketorolac and lidocaine versus using just lidocaine during office hysteroscopies."

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals experiencing abnormal uterine bleeding who are undergoing office hysteroscopy, a procedure to look inside the uterus. Participants should meet certain health criteria not specified here.
What is being tested?
The study compares pain relief during hysteroscopy using two methods: one combines ketorolac (a pain reliever) with lidocaine (an anesthetic), and the other uses just lidocaine. It's a randomized trial, so participants are put into groups by chance.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects may include discomfort at the injection site, allergic reactions to medications used, or inadequate pain control. Specific side effects of ketorolac can include stomach upset or bleeding.
