Summary
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.
