Could a common painkiller replace a stronger one for uterine procedures?
NCT ID NCT07315698
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether oral paracetamol works as well as oral ketoprofen for reducing pain during a routine uterine exam called office hysteroscopy. Sixty women received one of the two painkillers an hour before the procedure, and their pain was measured during and after. The goal is to find a pain relief option with fewer side effects and easier use.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Paracetamol and Ketoprofen
- What this could lead to
- If paracetamol works as well as ketoprofen, it could offer a safer, more convenient pain relief option for women undergoing office hysteroscopy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed Phase 4 trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Pain relief differences might be small or not clinically meaningful.
