Abstract

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, was conducted in Aswan University Hospital, Egypt between March and July 2016. Parous women eligible for Copper IUD insertion were recruited and randomized in a 1:1 ratio to indomethacin or placebo. The participants were asked to self administer the rectal suppositories 30 minutes before IUD insertion. The primary outcome was the participant’s self-rated pain perception using a 10cm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) during IUD insertion. We considered a 1.5cm difference in VAS scores between study groups as clinically significant.
