ABSTRACT

Analgesic protocols administered before a follicular puncture under local anesthesia are well tolerated when using NSAIDs, but we still do not know their possible impacts on in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes. A retrospective monocentric study using two consecutive temporal cohorts of patients was conducted to compare two analgesic protocols: paracetamol/alprazolam (P/A), then nefopam/ketoprofen (N/K). We demonstrated that biochemical pregnancy rate and the others outcomes of IVF are not significantly influenced by the type of analgesic protocol used. The protocol N/K enhances patient comfort without jeopardizing the IVF success rates.
