What this trial studies
This randomized controlled experimental study aims to evaluate the impact of inhaled lavender, focus techniques, and music on pain and anxiety levels in women undergoing intrauterine device (IUD) application. A total of 240 women aged 18-45, who are having an IUD inserted for the first time, will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: inhaled lavender, focus, music, or a control group. Data will be collected using the Numerical Anxiety Rating Scale and the Numerical Pain Rating Scale to assess the effectiveness of these nonpharmacological interventions. The study is conducted at a secondary level public hospital in Kahramanmaraş, Turkey.

Not a fit: Patients with a history of cervical surgery, active mental illness, or those who have taken painkillers or anxiety medications prior to the procedure may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide women with effective nonpharmacological methods to reduce pain and anxiety during IUD insertion.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown positive results using similar nonpharmacological approaches to alleviate pain and anxiety, indicating potential success for this study.
