Prophylactic Pregabalin to Decrease Pain During Medical Abortion: a Randomized Controlled Trial

the standard of care analgesics, will decrease experienced pain. Investigators will perform a
randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial. Participant pain levels and side
effects will be assessed at multiple time points, along with a measure of satisfaction.
