NCT ID NCT07325994
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using calming, reassuring words (verbal analgesia) can lower pain during a minimally invasive uterine exam in women with infertility. About 92 women will be randomly assigned to receive either verbal reassurance or standard care. The goal is to see if a simple, drug-free approach can make the procedure more comfortable.
