First seen Jul 20, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether placing a vibrating device on the belly button during IUD insertion can lower the pain people feel. About 114 adults scheduled for an IUD will be randomly assigned to receive the vibration or standard care. Participants rate their pain on a 0–100 scale at several points during the procedure. The goal is to see if this simple, drug-free approach makes IUD insertion more comfortable.
