Findings in curettage reported from O. Api and co-researchers.
"To determine the efficacy of intravenous (i.v.) paracetamol for decreasing pain associated with fractional curettage. This double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial included 70 women who underwent fractional curettage," researchers in Istanbul, Turkey report (see also Curettage).

The pain scores prior to the procedure were significantly higher in women with a history of endometrial curettage when compared with women who have no history.
