Summary
The study hypothesis is that infusion of 2% lidocaine at the time of IUD placement will
reduce pain scores related to that procedure. In a double blinded randomized trial of 60
women receiving either normal saline or lidocaine infused through an endometrial aspirator,
pain scores will be obtained for each step of the IUD placement procedure and for the total
experience.
