NCT03202550
Brief Summary:
This will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 2 arms. It will be comparing the effects of placebo compared to 1 mg oral lorazepam/5 mg oral oxycodone on pain scores during cervical dilator placement prior to dilation and evacuation (D\&E).
Detailed Description:
Potential participants will be first introduced to the study via routine intake call. Participants will be identified at the participant's office visits to the Johns Hopkins' Women's Center for Family Planning. If a patient desires D\&E for a second trimester pregnancy, the patient will first receive standard counseling. Only after providing written informed consent for the procedure will the patients be screened for eligibility in the study. If the patient is eligible the participant will be asked by a member of the research team if the patient is interested in participating. If the patient is, the study will be explained to the participant and written consent will be obtained after participant is given the opportunity to have all questions answered.
The study is randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 2 arms. Participants will first complete a survey to collect demographic data.
Participants in both arms will receive the institution's current standard analgesia for cervical dilator placement. In addition to this standard regimen, participants will be randomized to receive either: (1) a dose of two oral placebo pills, or (2) 1mg of oral lorazepam with 5 mg of oral oxycodone prior to cervical dilator placement.
