In the study group (n=66) a thin catheter originally designed for intrauterine insemination was used to inject the dye. Leakage of the dye was prevented using a vaginal speculum to press on the portiovaginalis of the cervix. The control group (n=23) underwent HSG using the standard metal cannula. Visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the level of pain immediately after the procedure. The main outcome measures were the level of pain experienced by the patient during the procedure and the efficacy of the new technique.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The mean (\u00b1SD) VAS was 11.2\u00b13.1 in the study group and 54.7\u00b110.1 in the metal cannula group (p&amp;lt;0.0001). During the dye injection, the VAS was 10.3\u00b15.2 in the study group compared to 64.1\u00b117.3 in the metal cannula group (p&amp;lt;0.0001).
