Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing whether injecting a local anesthetic (numbing medicine) into the uterus at the end of a hysteroscopy procedure reduces pain and speeds up recovery. A hysteroscopy is a procedure where a small camera is inserted through the cervix to look inside the uterus. Pain after the procedure is common, and this simple step may help. You may be eligible if: - You are a woman between 18 and 70 years old - You are scheduled for a hysteroscopy for diagnosis, Mirena (IUD) insertion, or polyp removal You may NOT be eligible if: - You have chronic ongoing pain conditions - You have a known allergy to local anesthetic medications Talk to your doctor about whether this trial might be right for you.

This is a simplified summary. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
