Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

This is a randomized controlled trial of gabapentin 600 mg compared to placebo given 1-2 hours preoperatively in conjunction with perioperative paracervical block for surgical abortion. The researchers hypothesize that adding gabapentin to local anesthesia will reduce perioperative and postoperative pain associated with surgical abortion. Additionally, the researchers hypothesize that gabapentin will reduce nausea, vomiting, anxiety, and consumption of pain medication.
