Filter by:The intrauterine devices (IUDs) are a safe, reliable, long-acting and reversible contraceptive method. It is also sound safe and cheap contraceptive methods available and is nearly maintenance free for up to 10 years. The fear and the pain associated with IUDs insertion consider barriers to using this contraception method, this is because that the mucosal lining of female genital tract is highly sensitive to touch and pain. However; most of small procedures done in this sensitive area are performed without analgesia. The pain during IUDs insertion is due to application of the tenaculum , traction of the cervical canal, passing the uterine sound, insertion of the IUDs through the cervix, and irritation of the endometrial lining by the IUDs.
The goal of this project is to investigate whether a pre-visit telephone intervention could increase awareness of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) availability at the time of uterine evacuation.
This study evaluates the effects of a community-based counseling intervention to improve contraception among residents in two deprived neighborhoods in Barcelona (Spain). Half of the participants received contraceptive counseling at the community setting, while the other half acted as a control group.
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the contraceptive efficacy, vaginal bleeding pattern (cycle control), and the general safety and acceptability of the 15 mg estetrol (E4)/3 mg drospirenone (DRSP) combination in healthy women aged 16 to 50 years.

The purpose of this pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic study is to identify a dose of TV-46046 (within the range 80 to 300 mg) that is both safe and consistent with contraceptive effect when injected every 6 months.
Does the addition of cervical lidocaine injections and valium to the current practice result in decreased reported pain with tenaculum placement, IUD insertion, and post procedural discomfort? The current practice is ibuprofen alone or no medication.
To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of group contraceptive counseling on family planning knowledge acquisition, service satisfaction, method uptake and continuation among a group of resettled African refugee women.
Recent research suggests that women with substance use disorders may be at a higher risk of unintended pregnancy. There is a paucity of interventions specifically focused on this population. Through using mixed methods, this study proposes to develop a brief peer-led intervention (based on the Health Belief Model) to prevent unintended pregnancies among women entering opioid medication-assisted treatment; to assess acceptability, feasibility and the initial efficacy of the behavioral intervention; and to conduct exploratory analyses to identify the Health Belief Model constructs that are most influential on use of long-acting reversible contraception methods. Future research would include testing the intervention in a larger scale trial and with other populations.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether delivery of SpeakOut, a behavioral intervention to increase social communication about long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) methods among adolescents, is associated with increased uptake of LARC methods among the social contacts of SpeakOut recipients. The investigators will conduct a cluster randomized controlled trial of SpeakOut with adolescent LARC users and their female peers. Over three years, SpeakOut will be implemented in eight partner clinics. IUD and implant users aged 15 to 19 who attend appointments at participating clinics will be invited to enroll in the evaluation study as "primary" participants and receive either SpeakOut or a control intervention about alcohol use. The social contacts of primary participants will be asked to enroll in the study as "secondary" participants. The study's primary outcome will be the proportion of sexually-active secondary participants who initiate use of a LARC method within 9 months of study enrollment.
