The investigators propose a single-site, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial of lavender aromatherapy versus placebo for patient satisfaction in adult women having a surgical abortion before 10 weeks and 0 days gestation. The investigators will evaluate whether lavender aromatherapy is an effective adjunct therapy for patient satisfaction during first trimester surgical abortion. The investigators will measure satisfaction using the Iowa Satisfaction with Anesthesia Scale (ISAS). The investigators hypothesize that women receiving lavender aromatherapy will report higher satisfaction scores compared to women receiving placebo. Prior studies have investigated the use of aromatherapy in laboring patients, in menstruating women, and in general post-operative populations. No investigations have focused on the use of lavender aromatherapy as an adjunct therapy to paracervical block and/or oral narcotics and anxiolytics in outpatient surgical abortion. Our study is novel in investigating patient satisfaction with first trimester surgical abortion using lavender aromatherapy. The contribution of this proposed research to the literature is significant because current affordable anesthetic adjuncts to opioids and benzodiazepines are limited.

Primary | Patient Satisfaction with Anesthesia | Difference in patient satisfaction with their abortion experience as measured on the Iowa Satisfaction with Anesthesia Scale (ISAS) following a surgical abortion less than 10 weeks 0 days gestational age between women randomized to lavender aromatherapy versus placebo. | 1 year | |
Secondary | Satisfaction Based on Baseline Anxiety | Difference in patient satisfaction based on baseline state and trait anxiety as measured by the State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) in those who received lavender aromatherapy. | 1 year | |
Secondary | Difference in Patient Satisfaction Based on Sedation | Difference in patient satisfaction in those who receive oral sedation compared to those who receive no sedation, in patients receiving lavender aromatherapy versus placebo. Satisfaction is measured through a 3-item post-procedure questionnaire with Likert scale responses ranging from "Strongly Agree" to "Strongly Disagree | 1 year | |
Secondary | Maximum Procedural Pain | Difference in maximum procedural pain as measured by Visual Analog Scale (VAS) in patients receiving lavender aromatherapy versus placebo. The VAS is presented as a 10-centimeter line with descriptive anchors at each end, "no pain" on the left at 0 centimeters and "pain as bad as it could be" at 10 centimeters. Respondents place a vertical line through the point on the scale that best fits their experience with their procedural pain and that mark is measured as a continuous variable for pain from 0 to 10 (no pain to pain as bad as it could be). | 1 year | |
Secondary | Acceptability | Patient acceptability of lavender aromatherapy as a complementary and alternative medicine used during first trimester surgical abortion as measured through a post-procedure survey. | 1 year |
