Summary
Intranasal fentanyl has been found to be safe and effective in the reduction of pain among
pediatric and adult populations. The investigators hypothesize that patients who receive 100
mcg of intranasal fentanyl for pain control before first-trimester uterine aspiration will
report lower pain scores than those who receive placebo. The investigators will test this
hypothesis using a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial comparing pain reported
during uterine aspiration between patients who receive either intranasal fentanyl or
intranasal saline prior to the procedure.
