Sponsor's own description

Pain during IUD insertion is substantially psychologic in origin, responds extremely well to non-pharmacologic interventions. Considering the fact that acupuncture is a modality exerting both psychologic and physiologic effects, the authors presume that acupuncture administration before IUD insertion may have positive effects on pain control. From this point of view, the aim of this study to investigate the effects of LI4 acupuncture administered shortly before IUD insertion on pain perception and discomfort of the women.
