Lidocaine-Prilocaine Cream in Conjunction With Lidocaine Paracervical Block for Pain With First-Trimester Abortion: A Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial

in the experimental group in conjunction with a paracervical block, whereas plain lubricating
gel will be used in conjunction with a paracervical block for the placebo, control group.
