Oral Ketorolac for IUD Pain Reduction

Официальное название

Timing of Oral Ketorolac for Pain Reduction in IUD Insertion: A Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial

Обзор

To determine if oral ketorolac given at different timepoints prior to intrauterine device (IUD) insertion influences pain experienced during this procedure.

Подробное описание

This is a single-site prospective interventional randomized controlled trial to examine the timing of administration of ketorolac for IUD pain control. 108 patients will be recruited to the study and they will be randomized into three study arms in a 1:1:1 ratio. Information including demographics, medical history, and obstetric history will be collected during enrollment. Patients will arrive 3 hours prior to their IUD appointment. Study group "K2" will receive ketorolac 20mg per os (PO) at 2 hours prior to IUD insertion, then they will receive a placebo pill at 1 hour prior to IUD insertion. In contrast, study group "K1" will receive the inverse: they will be given a placebo pill at 2 hours prior to IUD insertion, then they will receive ketorolac 20mg PO at 1 hour prior to IUD insertion. Study group "K0" will receive placebo pills at both timepoints. The patients will then receive a standard IUD insertion by an OBGYN physician. Both patients and providers will be blinded to the study medications received. The standard pain control regimen for IUD insertion includes offering vaginal lidocaine gel self-administered 5 minutes prior to IUD insertion as well as offering lidocaine paracervical block (PCB). All patients will be offered these standard pain control methods including the "K0" group. Patients may utilize one, both, or neither of these offered interventions in addition to the randomized study medication. During the IUD insertion, pain scores at 7 different timepoints will be measured via a visual analog scale (VAS). The VAS is a 100mm visual tool that allows patients to rate the pain they are experiencing at each time interval. The 7 timepoints include: pre-procedure, tenaculum placement, block injection, uterine sounding, IUD deployment, overall (measured immediately post-procedure), and 10 minutes post-procedure. Information on Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS) and patient satisfaction will be collected during their appointment. After the 10-minute post-procedure VAS score and questionnaire, patients will be discharged from the study.

Вмешательства

• Препарат Ketorolac
  The experimental condition to be examined by this study is the timing of administration of ketorolac prior to IUD insertion. Ketorolac 20mg PO has proven beneficial at certain timepoints during IUD insertion in prior studies, but pharmacokinetics indicate that it could require more time until peak analgesia.
• Препарат Placebo
  Placebo will be used to control the timing of administration and be used to compare ketorolac to baseline standard pain control regimens

Первичные конечные точки

• Difference in mean VAS pain scores between study arms at 7 timepoints during and after IUD insertion [Срок оценки: All VAS pain scores will be measured during their IUD appointment. 5 timepoints will be measured during IUD insertion (~10 total minutes), 1 immediately after the procedure, 1 ten minutes afterwards]

Вторичные конечные точки (4)

• Difference in mean VAS pain scores between study arms at 7 timepoints during and after IUD insertion, controlling for parity [Срок оценки: Parity is recorded during intake 1 week prior to IUD. VAS pain scores will be measured during their IUD appointment. 5 timepoints will be measured during IUD insertion (~10 total minutes), 1 immediately after the procedure, 1 ten minutes afterwards]
• Difference in rate of "severe pain" (VAS pain scores 70-100mm) between study arms at 7 timepoints during and after IUD insertion [Срок оценки: All VAS pain scores will be measured during their IUD appointment. 5 timepoints will be measured during IUD insertion (~10 total minutes), 1 immediately after the procedure, 1 ten minutes afterwards]
• Difference in rate of change of VAS pain scores between study arms at 7 timepoints during and after IUD insertion [Срок оценки: All VAS pain scores will be measured during their IUD appointment. 5 timepoints will be measured during IUD insertion (~10 total minutes), 1 immediately after the procedure, 1 ten minutes afterwards]
• Difference in rate of acceptable pain levels between study arms at 7 timepoints during and after IUD insertion [Срок оценки: All PASS responses will be measured during their IUD appointment. 5 timepoints will be measured during IUD insertion (~10 total minutes), 1 immediately after the procedure, 1 ten minutes afterwards]
