简要总结
The purpose of this research is to study the effect of nitrous oxide on pain felt by women having a surgical termination at less than 11 weeks compared to pain felt by women receiving oral pain medications.
详细描述
This study has important implications in the field of pain management for surgical abortion. While NO is administered in some outpatient clinics for surgical abortion, its effect on pain has not been systematically studied in a randomized controlled trial in women undergoing first trimester surgical abortion under local/oral analgesia. Expanding pain management options for women undergoing abortion confers significant public health benefits.

结局指标
主要结局
Visual Analog Pain Score for Mean Maximum Procedural Pain
时间窗: Mean maximum pain experienced during the procedure and assessed 5 minutes after the procedure
The primary outcome of this study is to evaluate the difference in mean maximum pain experienced during the procedure between groups as assessed 5 minutes after the procedure is completed. Pain was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). 0 = no pain, 100 = maximum pain
次要结局
- Visual Analog Scale Score for Baseline Pain(Baseline pain assessment on average within 30 minutes before procedure)
- Visual Analog Scale for Post-procedure Pain(Visual analog scale administered on average 20 minutes after procedure completed)
- Pain Management Satisfaction(Visual analog scale for satisfaction administered on average within 20 minutes after procedure completion.)
- Visual Analog Scale to Measure Anticipated Pain.(Anticipated pain assessed on average within 30 minutes before procedure)
