Pain Management for In-Office Gynecologic Procedures Using a Risk-Stratification Pain Calculator (NCT07311824)
Pain Management Optimization for In-Office Gynecologic Procedures: The Development and Evaluation of a Risk-Stratification Pain Calculator
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how using a risk-stratification calculator to determine the risk of a patient experiencing severe pain during an in-office gynecologic procedure and subsequently assigning pain medications to be used for the procedure based on risk, will affect patients' pain during these procedures. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does using pain medications determined by a risk-stratification calculator improve patients' pain scores during if-office gynecologic procedures? * Does using pain medications determined by a risk-stratification calculator improve patient satisfaction? Researchers will compare using the risk-stratification calculator to decide on pain medications to a provider using their best judgement to decide on pain medications. This will help determine if patients have improved pain scores and satisfaction if they have their pain medications assigned using the risk-stratification calculator. Participants who are undergoing a relevant in-office gynecologic procedure will: * Receive pain medications for their procedure either based on their answers to questions for the risk-stratification calculator or based on their provider's best judgement. * Answer an online survey about their experience with the procedure and related pain management.
