Summary
This study tested whether a lidocaine injection into the cervix (paracervical block) reduces pain during endometrial biopsy. 96 women were randomly assigned to receive either lidocaine or a gentle tap with a capped needle (control). The main goal was to see if pain scores were lower with lidocaine. Results could help make this common procedure less painful.
