S10 | E97 *OUCH* Neuroscience Based Solutions for IUD Insertion Pain with Chelsea Carter & Kellie Coleman
Description
Current clinical practice lacks effective pain management during common gynecological procedures such as IUD insertion. Because of this, pain can often be a barrier for a patient in choosing a form of contraception that best serves them. Kellie Coleman works in pain management as a nurse practitioner AND a chiropractor. She and Chelsea Carter are spearheading research to offer multimodal pain for women's care using neuroscience. Learn how transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS unit) offers an option for effective pain control during intrauterine device insertion. Tune in to find out how this can help and where you can find one!
