Paracervical block
A paracervical block is an
intrauterine devices (IUDs). There is speculation that this is related to the disproportionate under-researching of women's health.[2]
It is used for various obstetric and gynecologic procedures, such as hysteroscopy and vacuum aspiration. It is as efficient as intracervical block, according to a study on women undergoing vacuum aspiration with lidocaine as anesthetic agent.[3] Addition of ketorolac may offer added benefit of improved pain control.[4]
