Weighted Blankets for IUD Insertion
Sponsor: Saint Luke's Health System
Summary
When having an intrauterine device placed in an outpatient clinic, patients frequently feel anxiety related to the procedure. This study is designed to determine if the use of a small, weighted blanket, placed over the patient's chest and shoulders, would help decrease that anxiety, as well as pain related to the procedure.
Official title: Do Weighted Blankets Reduce Pain and Anxiety Associated With Gynecological Procedures?
