ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The aim of the study was to assess safety and efficacy of 50-mg tramadol in reducing patient-perceived pain during colposcopy. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
We conducted a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial in the colposcopy unit of a tertiary referral hospital, Cairo, Egypt, from April 2018 to October 2018. Our primary outcome was pain during colposcopy-guided ectocervical punch biopsy. Our secondary outcomes were pain during speculum insertion, acetic acid application, Lugol iodine application, endocervical curettage (ECC), endocervical brushing, 10-minute postprocedure, and additional analgesia requirement. Pain was assessed using 10-cm visual analog scale.RESULTS:
One hundred fifty women were randomized into 2 groups tramadol group (n = 75) received oral 50-mg tramadol tablets, and control group (n = 75) received placebo tablets. Both groups showed no significant difference in anticipated pain score (p = .56), pain scores during speculum insertion (p = .70), application of acetic acid (p = .40), and Lugol iodine (p = .79). However, the mean pain scores were significantly lower in tramadol group compared with placebo at ectocervical biopsy (p = .001), ECC (p = .001), endocervical brushing (p = .001), and 10 minutes after colposcopy (p = .001). Need for additional analgesia was significantly lower in tramadol group (p = .03).CONCLUSIONS:
Oral tramadol 50 mg significantly reduces pain perception during colposcopy-guided ectocervical biopsy, ECC, endocervical brushing, and 10 minutes after colposcopy with tolerable adverse effects.
