New pain calculator aims to take the guesswork out of gynecologic procedure pain relief
NCT ID NCT07311824
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a simple questionnaire-based pain calculator can help doctors choose the right pain medication for women undergoing in-office gynecologic procedures like IUD insertion or biopsy. About 200 participants will either get pain meds based on the calculator or based on their doctor's usual judgment. The goal is to see if the calculator leads to less pain and higher satisfaction.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- risk-stratification pain calculator (questionnaire-based algorithm)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could give doctors a simple tool to personalize pain medication for gynecologic procedures, reducing pain and improving patient satisfaction.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study with only 200 participants, so results may not apply to all patients or procedures. The calculator may not outperform a provider's best judgment.
