Leiomyoma are the most common female reproductive tract tumors. Uterine artery embolization(UAE) is a minimally invasive treatment alternative to hysterectomy and myomectomy. However, post-procedural pain control after UAE remains a major problem. Therefore, the aim of study is to evaluate the efficacy of dexmedetomidine in pain control after UAE.
The investigators examined the effect of dexmedetomidine in the management of pain after uterine artery embolization.
