Abstrakt: Study Objective: To compare between oral diclofenac potassium alone versus a combination of it with hyoscine-N-butyl bromide (HBB) in reduction of pain in women undergoing office hysteroscopy. Design: Randomized, double-blind controlled trial. Setting: Kasralainy  hospital (a tertiary hospital). Intervention: Sixty-Four patients undergoing office hysteroscopy were randomly divided into 2 groups (study group and placebo group) in the ratio of 1:1. Group 1 (study group = 32 participants) received two oral HBB tablets and one tablet of diclofenac potassium and group 2 (placebo group = 32 participants) received two oral placebo tablet similar in size, structure and color to buscopan in addition to the diclofenac tablet. The patient was given the drugs 30–60 min before the procedure. Results: There was statistically significant difference between the two groups in the pain score immediately during entry (pvalue = 0.001) and after 30 min of the procedure (pvalue =  < 0.001). And there was a statistically significant difference as regards the side effects (gastric irritation) of the medications (pvalue = 0.04) between the women participating in the two groups. Conclusion: The combination of diclofenac potassium and HBB helps a lot in decreasing the pain and discomfort during and after performing office hysteroscopy but with more gastric side effects.
