A double-blind randomised investigation with placebo control was undertaken to investigate the effect of 10 mg diazepam rectally or 1 g acetyl salicylic acid as effervescing tablets on pain and nervousness during and after outpatient cervical curettage and biopsy from the vaginal cervix or the cervical endothelium. A total of 97 women participated and were subdivided at random. Three patients were, however, excluded as they did not participate as planned. No differences were found between the three groups as regards pain and nervousness during the intervention and fatigue and drowsiness after the intervention. No statistically significant difference was found in the degree of satisfaction with the treatment in the various therapeutic groups.
