NCT05702242
A Randomized Controlled Trial of No Strings Intrauterine Device (IUD) Removal Techniques
Conditions: IUD Threads Not Visible, IUD Removal Complication
Sex: Female
Ages: 18 Years – 45 Years
Healthy volunteers: 1
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 75
Sponsor: University of Colorado, Denver
Location: United States
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare success rates of two removal techniques for intrauterine devices (IUDs) that have missing or non-visible strings.
The investigators will also collect preliminary data to better understand patient and provider satisfaction, maximum pain score, procedure time, and complications with the two techniques.
Participants will be randomized to IUD removal with either an alligator forceps or manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) technique.
This study will provide important data on these removal techniques, which could possibly expand options for and access to no strings IUD removals.
