NCT ID NCT06496854
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study aimed to see if giving lorazepam, a sedative, before IUD insertion could reduce pain and anxiety. It planned to enroll 25 adults at a family medicine clinic. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no data was collected.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
lorazepam
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a way to ease anxiety and pain during IUD insertion for some people.
What could go wrong
This study was withdrawn before enrolling anyone, so no results exist. It was a tiny pilot with only 25 planned participants, so even if done, findings might not apply broadly.
