Methoxyflurane for Analgesia During Hysteroscopy

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Anesthetics, Inhalation: Inhaled analgesia

Intravenous Sedatives with or Without Analgesia: IV Fentanyl and midazolam

Study summary

This study is to assess the non-inferiority of using inhaled methoxyflurane (MOF) versus intravenous conscious sedation with fentanyl and midazolam on women's perception of pain, during hysteroscopy and/or polypectomy in an outpatient setting. The researchers will determine whether the participants receiving the inhaled MOF (experimental group) achieve similar clinical effects in reduction of pain and ability to complete the procedure. Women's perception of pain will be recorded on a scale from 0 to 10 using the numeric rating scale (NRS).
