Participant Flow

This is a multi-site, randomized, double-blind controlled trial conducted from May 2020-May 2021. Participants presenting for dilation and evacuation who required osmotic dilators for cervical preparation were randomized 1:1 to receive a 1% buffered lidocaine PCB or a 1% buffered lidocaine + 0.15mg buprenorphine PCB.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Morning of D&E procedure: after check-in, before D&E

To determine patient satisfaction with pain control during and after osmotic dilator insertion. This was assessed on the morning of D\&E procedure. Participants following question and rated responses on a Likert scale: What was your overall satisfaction with the amount of pain control that you had during the procedure?
