Objective: To determine the effectiveness of 3 mg vaginal dinoprostone administered six hours prior to copper intrauterine device (IUD) insertion compared to placebo in increasing ease of insertion and reducing insertion pain among nulliparous women.
Study Design: This was a single-center double-blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT). We randomly divided the two hundred nulliparous women requesting a copper T380A IUD to receive 3 mg vaginal dinoprostone or placebo six hours before IUD insertion.
Article Synopsis
- The study reviews pharmacological interventions to reduce bleeding during open and minimally invasive myomectomy, analyzing data from 26 randomized controlled trials.
- In minimally invasive surgeries, oxytocin was found to be the most effective treatment for reducing blood loss, although the overall quality of evidence is low.
- For open myomectomy, a combination of vasopressin and misoprostol showed significant effectiveness in minimizing blood loss, but again, the quality of evidence remains low.
