In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to learn if placing a vibrating device at the umbilicus during insertion of intrauterine device (IUD) decreases perceived pain during the procedure. The main question it aims to answer is: Does applying a vibrating device to the umbilicus during IUD insertion significantly reduce perceived pain compared to standard of care? Researchers will compare pain scores during IUD insertion among patients who received the vibrating device at the umbilicus and those who did not. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive a vibrating device placed on the umbilicus during IUD insertion or not. All participants will be able to use standard of care pain control measures during the IUD insertion procedure as desired, even if randomized to receive the vibrating device. Participants will complete a pre-procedure survey and will report their pain on
