Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the use of misoprostol can make it easier for a provider, and less painful for a woman, to place an IUD if she has never had a child before.


Clinical Trial Description

IUD's are a tremendously effective long acting, reversible method of contraception, and they require little participation from the woman after insertion. Despite these benefits, few women in the US use an IUD. Education is important so that both providers and women understand that IUD's are safe and effective in women even if they have never had a child. Insertion of an IUD in nulliparous patients can be more difficult and uncomfortable. The purpose of this study is to see if use of misoprostol prior to IUD placement in nulliparous women can make it easier and less painful. The goal is that more information on the feasibility and ease of IUD insertion will make it more accessible to more women. The findings from this trial will be used in a prospective meta analysis on this topic. ;
