AB This article presents results from a randomized clinical trial, demonstrating that self-administered lidocaine gel does not significantly reduce the pain associated with intrauterine device (IUD) insertion in nulliparous women, but does reduce pain during placement of the speculum and tenaculum, and therefore may be used prior to gynecological examinations and procedures [Rapkin RB et al. Obstet Gynecol 2014].
