NCT ID NCT06951191
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aimed to see if using a benzocaine spray before a lidocaine injection could reduce pain during IUD insertion. Participants were randomly assigned to receive different combinations of active drugs or placebos, and rated their pain on a scale. However, the trial was terminated after enrolling only one person, so it cannot provide meaningful results.
