Ibuprofen Versus Ketorolac for Pain Relief During Hysterosalpingogram

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) testing is a vital part of the workup for infertility patients. It is often noted to be biggest pain that patients undergo during the workup. Several studies have attempted to find a therapy that reduces pain, with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as oral ibuprofen the current mainstay. Our study attempts to determine which of the following NSAIDS is best at reducing pain associated with the HSG procedure: oral ibuprofen versus oral ketorolac .

Detailed Description
-----------------
Describe step-by-step how the study will be conducted from beginning to end After IRB approval, the research pharmacist will provide motrin and ketorolac in identical packets labeled 1-88, after receiving the randomization strategy/number set from the research monitor. REI physician on the protocol will screen patient for inclusion/exclusion from study at new patient consult or at future follow up visit when need for HSG is decided. If patient pt screens eligible, discuss study. If elects participation then consent patient and randomize to group. At time of scheduling HSG, patient will need to remind nursing that they are in HSG study. Nursing should also have the list of patients to reference when scheduling HSGs. Patients in the study will need to check in at the REI clinic 70 minutes prior to HSG in order to take their meds 60 minutes prior to scheduled procedure time. At same visit, REI RN will perform urine pregnancy test as previously scheduled. a. meds will be kept in a locked cabinet in the REI research office in opaque sealed envelopes. Patient will then go check into Radiology for their HSG. HSG will be performed per standard clinical protocol. The HSG will be performed by REI physicians and OB/GYN residents (who are rotating on REI), which are the current standard of practice. A nurse or provider associated with the study will need to be at the HSG for the sole purpose of study assistance. The provider performing the HSG, the study personnel recording pain levels, and the fluro tech will not be aware of the type of pre-procedural medication the patient received. The nurse or provider of study personnel will do the following: time the procedure from placement of speculum through deflation of catheter balloon and removal of catheter. Record time in seconds (can write mins:seconds and then convert later). record who performed the procedure, if a tenaculum had to be used, and if an attending had to take over the procedure help patient record pain scale marks on the VAS sheet at the designated time periods. 7. For clarity- there will be at least three providers at each HSG for study enrolled patients. A provider who does the HSG A fluoro technician to capture fluoro images for teh HSG A study affialitied person to record pain scores for patient as above 8. At the conclusion of study recruitment, the blinded researchers will gain access to the subject ID's cohort status (ibuprofen vs ketorolac), and study analysis will be undertaken.
