Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study will determine patient and provider preferences regarding vaginal speculum examinations done with and without stirrups. Primary research hypothesis: Women undergoing speculum examination will experience at least 20% less physical discomfort, 20% less sense of vulnerability, and 20% less sense of loss of control when using a no-stirrup method of examination compared to traditional in-stirrup examinations. Secondary research hypothesis: 25% or less of the providers taught this alternative method of speculum examination will find it to be unacceptable.
