Resumo

Objective: To identify sociodemographic and clinical variables associated with severe pain with levonorgestrel 52 mg intrauterine system (IUS) placement among nulligravid women. Study design: We performed a secondary analysis of a randomized trial that evaluated intracervical anesthesia before IUS insertion. We assessed factors associated with severe pain (visual analog scale pain score >= 7) immediately after insertion using bivariate and multiple regression analyses. Results: Overall, 137/300 (45.7%) subjects reported severe pain. In multiple regression analysis, only intracervical anesthesia {[}RR 0.55, 95% CI 0.37-0.80] and a history of dysmenorrhea {[}RR 1.36, 95% CI 1.08-1.72)] were associated with severe pain. Conclusions: Among nulligravid women, a history of dysmenorrhea increases, and intracervical block decreases severe pain during levonorgestrel IUS insertion. (C) 2020 Elsevier Inc.
