Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the maximum pain intensity experienced by the patient during and within 10 minutes after start of IUD insertion when treated with SHACT in comparison to placebo using a 100 mm VAS scale.;Secondary Objective: • To evaluate the pain intensity experienced by the patient after 1 and 2 hours after IUD insertion and after 24, 48 and 72 hours (day 2 – 4) in comparisons between SHACT 4% viscous solution and placebo using a VAS scale • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of SHACT used during IUD insertion. • To evaluate the need for rescue medication within the next 4 days after IUD insertion when treated with SHACT compared to placebo. ;Primary end point(s): Maximum pain intensity experienced by the patient during and within 10 minutes after start of IUD insertion when treated with SHACT in comparison to placebo
