Clinical Trial Description

.Colposcopy-directed cervical biopsy (CDB) is a procedure performed in women with abnormal Papanicolaou smear or abnormal human papillomavirus (HPV) testing whose cervical lesions are colposcopically identified. Generally, no anaesthesia is needed for the procedure which can be done on an outpatient basis.The degree of pain associated with this procedure varies from mild to severe and many studies suggested that pain levels are often high reaching a score of more than 40 points on a 100-point visual analogue scale (VAS). Tramadol hydrochloride is an orally active centrally acting synthetic opioid. It is an atypical analgesic with a dual mechanism of action: serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibition and modest l-opioid agonist. It has a lower incidence of respiratory depression, cardiac depression, side effects on smooth muscle and abuse potential as compared to typical opioid agents ;
