OBJECTIVES: To compare pain and ease of insertion of the copper 380 mm2, levonorgestrel 52 mg, and levonorgestrel 19.5-mg intrauterine devices (IUDs) in Brazilian adolescents.
STUDY DESIGN: We conducted a participant-blinded randomized trial at two clinics in Brazil. We enrolled 318 adolescents<19 years old in a 1:1:1 ratio from November 2021 to February 2022. We informed the adolescents about the IUD type inserted after they evaluated the pain associated with the IUD insertion using a Visual Analogue Scale and immediately after that the healthcare provider who placed the IUD evaluated the ease of the procedure.
RESULTS: The VAS pain level was significantly higher after the levonorgestrel 52-mg IUD placement, median and [interquartile range, IQ] 8.0 [4.0] than the copper 380-mm2 IUD 7.0 [4.0], and the levonorgestrel 19.5-mg IUD 7.0 [6.0] (p = 0.001). The placement was easier after the copper 380-mm2 IUD (87/106, 82.1%) and the levonorgestrel 19.5-mg IUD (91/106, 85.8%) when compared with the levonorgestrel 52-mg IUD (75/105, 70.7%). After multiple logistic regression analyses, the higher VAS pain scores were associated with the levonorgestrel 52-mg IUD (OR = 2.90), low number of pregnancies (OR -0.48), and with a history of dysmenorrhea (OR = 2.67).
CONCLUSIONS: The placement of the copper 380-mm2 IUD and the levonorgestrel 19.5-mg IUD was associated with lower pain according to the adolescent and was easier according to the provider when compared with the levonorgestrel 52-mg IUD. However, the small observed differences may not be clinically relevant.
IMPLICATIONS: We found that the three types of IUDs were generally easy to place; however, mean pain scores were high during insertions. Our findings of high pain scores reinforce the need for interventions to reduce pain for adolescent IUD insertion.
