Summary
This is a randomized, double-blinded, double placebo-controlled trial. Patients undergoing
saline infusion sonohysterography (SIS) will be recruited and randomized into three groups to
receive (a) 3ml of 2% lidocaine gel on the cervix and 5ml of intrauterine normal saline; (b)
3ml of KY jelly on the cervix and 5ml of 2% intrauterine lidocaine or (c) 3ml of KY jelly on
the cervix and 5mL of intrauterine normal saline prior to SIS. Pain levels will be recorded
to evaluate the efficacy of local lidocaine gel and intrauterine lidocaine infusion in
reducing pain during the SIS.
