The purpose of this study is to determine the level of pain women experience with a surgical abortion and the effect that varying paracervical block techniques might have on that pain. These different techniques involve wait time following the injection as well as the number of sites injected.

Primary Outcome

To determine whether varying paracervical block techniques affect patient perception of pain. Pain is measured as mm distance from the left of the 100-mm visual analogue (VAS) scale with the anchors 0 = none, 100 mm = worst imaginable (reflecting magnitude of pain) and recorded immediately after completion of cervical dilation.

Interventions
