Abstract
There is no consensus amongst physicians about the need for analgesia when a woman undergoes ablative therapy of the cervix. Many doctors believe that the discomfort felt during such procedures is insubstantial. By means of a randomised double-blind placebo-controlled trial, we have shown that patients experience considerable pain during cold-coagulation treatment of the cervix. We found that intracervical lignocaine leads to a significant (p < 0.01) reduction in this pain.
