Summary

This trial will compare two different techniques for placing a tenaculum on the cervix to measure which is less painful. The visual analog scale will be used to measure pain levels from 0-100mm. The main objective is to determine if there is a difference in pain perception with the two techniques. It is hypothesized that the slow technique will be perceived as less painful.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women aged 18-49 planning to get an IUD or endometrial biopsy, who can consent and haven't used painkillers, anxiety meds, narcotics, or illegal drugs recently.
What is being tested?
The study compares two ways of using a tenaculum during gynecological procedures: fast vs. slow application. It aims to see which method causes less pain as measured by a pain scale.
What are the potential side effects?
While the trial itself doesn't involve medication with side effects, the use of the tenaculum may cause discomfort or pain at the site of application on the cervix.
