Filter by:Two studies carried out in 2011 at the Center for Contraception and Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy (CIVG) at the Louis-Mourier Hospital, evaluated the pain of patients undergoing an abortion, and looked for predictors of the pain felt during an abortion. medication or aspiration under local anesthesia. These predictive factors of pain are today integrated into the interview during a request for abortion at the CIVG of Louis-Mourier. This new study, on care data, prospective and monocentric conducted at the CIVG, of the Louis Mourier hospital, will make it possible to verify whether the knowledge of these predictive factors of pain has made it possible to improve the management of pain in women undergoing an abortion. The main objective is to assess the pain felt by the patient during a medical abortion or by aspiration under local anesthesia, knowing the predictive factors of pain highlighted by two studies carried out in 2011. The secondary objective is to highlight a significant difference in pain after application of an analgesic protocol indexed on predictive factors of pain. The study will be carried out in two successive periods: A first period of 4 months will consist in evaluating the pain felt by women having a medical abortion or by aspiration under local anesthesia. A second period of 4 months will evaluate the pain felt by women undergoing medical or aspiration abortion under local anesthesia following the application of an analgesic protocol indexed on the predictive factors of pain. The expected benefit of this study is the improvement of care and professional practices for better management of pain during outpatient abortion. The abortion will take place in the usual way according to the chosen method. An information and non-objection note will be distributed to patients during the first consultation for an abortion. Patients agreeing to participate in the study will answer the usual questions from the doctor or nurse. A data collection sheet related to care will be integrated into the medical records. The CIVG doctors taking part in the study will report the data collected on this form. The maximum pain felt during the abortion and in the following 4 days will be evaluated using an VAS according to usual practice.
Surgical abortion is one of the most frequently surgery of women in the world. 43 millions are annually performed in the world. 90% of the abortions are performed during the first trimester of pregnancy before 13 weeks. Legal surgical abortion during the first trimester of pregnancy is a low risk intervention with a mortality rate lower than 1/100 000 abortions, with a risk of complications from 0.3 % to 3.4 %.
A surgical abortion under local anesthesia is potentially painful. A protocol using analgetic is systematically used. Also the protocol is relevant , the question of taking care of the pain in a safe manner remains. The use of Music during surgery can have a real effect on pain and anxiety. This study has for goal to evalued the use of music on pain as adjuvant treatement instead of a standard care for an abortion.
This study will be a non-blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT) of women presenting for abortion at <13 6/7 weeks. Women will be randomized either to receive support by a trained abortion doula (intervention) or to have standard procedure (control) during the abortion procedure. The investigators hypothesize that women who receive doula support during a first trimester abortion will report less pain during the abortion procedure compared to women who do not receive abortion doula support.
The investigators primary objective is to study the analgesic effects of combined ketorolac and lidocaine in a paracervical block compared to preoperative ibuprofen followed by intra-operative paracervical block with lidocaine alone on women undergoing first trimester surgical abortions. The investigators hypothesize that women who receive a paracervical block of combined ketorolac and lidocaine will experience less pain during the procedure based on a visual analog scale (VAS) compared to those who receive preoperative ibuprofen and a paracervical block with lidocaine alone. This randomized, multi-site, placebo-controlled clinical trial will investigate the difference in perceived pain from first trimester surgical abortions using a paracervical block of combined ketorolac and lidocaine compared to preoperative ibuprofen and paracervical block with lidocaine alone. A total of fifty women who are seeking elective surgical abortions of intrauterine pregnancies less than 11 0/7 weeks' gestation will be recruited from Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, Planned Parenthood of Maryland in Baltimore, Maryland and Planned Parenthood Columbia-Willamette in Portland, Oregon. Pain before, during, and after surgical abortion will be measured using a 100-mm VAS. The primary outcome of interest is the mean difference in pain level from preoperative baseline to time after cervical dilation comparing the treatment groups. If the investigators see greater pain reduction associated with the paracervical block of lidocaine and ketorolac, adoption of this regimen may improve pain management during first trimester surgical abortions. If combined ketorolac and lidocaine when administered as a paracervical block is proven to be efficacious, the need for additional analgesia in first trimester surgical abortions can be minimized.
