Summary
Giving infiltration analgesia around the neck of the womb (= paracervical block, PCB) is
frequently experienced as a painful procedure by women undergoing follicle aspiration. Two
sedation protocols, where in the one protocol a low dose of alfentanil hydrochloride is
already administered before the PCB, will be compared with each other and pain relief
measured using the 'Visual Analogue Scale' and the 'Short-Form McGill Questionnaire'
