English term or phrase: minimal amount of pain
There is a minimal amount of pain with this test (MUGA with contrast injection).

I don't understand if it means that it's painful or not. I'm coming up with "est peu douloureux", which doesn't sound right because that's not what I want to hear when I get an exam.
