Summary
This is a randomized, double blind study that aims to measure the difference in maximum pain
experienced during in-office transcervical sterilization (Essure®) for women receiving either
inhaled nitrous oxide or standard oral analgesia (Vicodin and Lorazepam) with inhaled oxygen.
The investigators hypothesize that inhaled nitrous oxide will reduce the pain experienced
more than standard oral medications in women undergoing in-office transcervical
sterilization.
