First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested two different pain relievers—an oral tablet and a topical spray—against a placebo to see if they reduce pain during hysterosalpingography, an X-ray test for blocked fallopian tubes. 102 women with primary infertility took part. The goal was to find a simple way to make the procedure less painful.
