Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The purpose of the study is to learn more about the transcutaneous nerve stimulation (TENS) unit, an over-the-counter option for pain relief that is not a medication. The investigators are hoping to find out if this device decreases pain during and after laminaria placement for patients undergoing both elective and medically indicated second-trimester termination of pregnancy.
