Effectiveness of Interventions to Improve Women's Experience of Pelvic Examinations: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of various interventions designed to improve women's experiences during pelvic examinations, which often cause discomfort and anxiety. Their systematic review and meta-analysis of 16 randomized controlled trials found that certain interventions significantly reduced pain and anxiety levels among participants. However, the authors noted high heterogeneity in the evidence and called for more high-quality research to better understand these interventions' impacts.
