Summary
Despite being the most common method of contraception, the use of intrauterine devices (IUDs)
is limited by the associated pain during insertion. Many pharmacologic interventions had been
studied for their efficacy to reduce IUD insertion pain, of them, lidocaine was found to be
superior over NSAIDs or other local anesthetics. This work aims at comparing the safety and
efficacy of different lidocaine formulations to optimize selection in reduction of IUD
associated pain.
