Brief summary:
Medical abortion has been associated with significant pain. The objective of this trial is to determine whether one dose of pregabalin 300 mg, given during medical abortion in addition to 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.
