Calm verbal coaching versus usual communication for pain during office hysteroscopy in women with primary infertility

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional trial enrolls women aged 18–40 with primary infertility who are scheduled for vaginoscopic (no‑touch) office hysteroscopy. All participants receive baseline NSAID premedication and are then assigned to either a structured verbal analgesia protocol (calm, supportive, reassuring cues during the procedure) or standard neutral communication. The study measures patient‑reported pain scores during key procedure steps, completion rates, and need for additional analgesia or sedation. The aim is to determine whether a simple communication strategy can improve tolerability and reduce procedural pain compared with usual care.
