Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The study will use semi-structured interviews to explore women's experiences of pain and preferences in pain management during first trimester surgical abortion and will include a procedural pain outcome using the visual analog scale (VAS) to create a more patient centered experience.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Oral Sedation
Patients in this group will receive a standard procedure first trimester abortion using oral sedation for pain management following the clinic's protocol.
Patients in both groups will be administered a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) assessing pain on an unmarked 100mm VAS scale with anchors at 0mm (left) being "no pain" and 100mm (right) being "pain as bad as it could be" before their procedure and immediately following procedure completion.
No interventions assigned to this group
Nitrous Oxide
Patients in this group will receive a standard procedure first trimester abortion using titrated nitrous oxide for pain management following the clinic's protocol.
Patients in both groups will be administered a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) assessing pain on an unmarked 100mm VAS scale with anchors at 0mm (left) being "no pain" and 100mm (right) being "pain as bad as it could be" before their procedure and immediately following procedure completion.
No interventions assigned to this group
