Summary

This study explores whether a woman's pain threshold, measured before the procedure, can predict how much anesthesia she will need during egg retrieval for IVF. Researchers will measure pain thresholds in 30 women and track the amount of sedatives they use. The goal is to personalize anesthesia to reduce drug exposure and improve safety and comfort.

What this could lead to: If successful, this could help doctors personalize anesthesia doses during egg retrieval, potentially reducing drug exposure and improving IVF outcomes.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage observational study with only 30 participants. It does not test a new treatment, so results may not change practice directly.
