What backs it

Helena Kopp Kallner, professor at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, published a new study on a method to mitigate pain during IUD insertion, addressing a significant barrier that keeps some patients from accessing one of the most effective contraception options available.

Worth noting

The research is recent and describes a new intervention; broader clinical adoption and effectiveness across diverse populations remain to be seen.
