First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

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.
