Brief summary:
This study is designed to determine if the preemptive use of a combination of acetaminophen and ibuprofen is more effective in reducing pain following orthodontic tooth movement when compared to the use of acetaminophen and ibuprofen alone.

Detailed description:
This study is designed to determine if the preemptive use of a combination of acetaminophen and ibuprofen is more effective in reducing pain following orthodontic tooth movement when compared to the use of acetaminophen and ibuprofen alone. Before their orthodontic appointment, participants will be administered acetaminophen (650mg), ibuprofen (400mg), or acetaminophen (650mg) + ibuprofen (400mg). Participants will be asked to record their pain intensity using a numerical (0-10) visual analog scale (VAS) during rest, light biting, and while chewing paraffin wax during the following time intervals: immediately following drug administration, 6 hours after, the morning after, and the second morning after orthodontic treatment.

Arms:
arm 1: Acetaminophen 650mg powder in gel capsule taken by mouth before entering appointment arm 2: Ibuprofen 400mg powder in gel capsule taken by mouth before entering appointment arm 3: Acetaminophen 650mg and Ibuprofen 400mg powder in gel capsule taken by mouth before entering appointment

Researchers’ statement
We are asking you to be in a research study.  The purpose of this consent form is to give you the 
information you will need to help you decide whether to be in the study or not.  Please read the 
form carefully.  You may ask questions about the purpose of the research, what we would ask 
you to do, the possible risks and benefits, your rights as a volunteer, and anything else about the 
research or this form that is not clear.  When we have answered all your questions, you can 
decide if you want to be in the study or not.  This process is called “informed consent.”  We will 
give you a copy of this form for your records.
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
Orthodontic treatment creates an inflammatory process, which allows for the reshaping of bone 
around the teeth.  The inflammation may also be a source for pain or discomfort during treatment 
that peaks within the first few days after treatment and is usually resolved within a week.  
Analgesics are medications that are used to relieve pain.  Commonly used analgesics are 
acetaminophen (a.k.a. Tylenol®) and ibuprofen (a.k.a. Advil®).  These drugs work by 
specifically inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which weakens the inflammatory 
response and therefor reduces the discomfort caused by orthodontic treatment.
Acetaminophen and ibuprofen have both been shown in numerous studies to reduce the peak 
level and duration of discomfort associated with orthodontic treatment when taken before the 
appointment when compared to a placebo (sugar pill).  The combination of both acetaminophen 
and ibuprofen is a widely accepted standard for mild to moderate dental pain relief.  However, to 
our knowledge, the combination of acetaminophen and ibuprofen taken pre-emptively has not 
yet been investigated for pain reduction during orthodontic treatment.
This study is recruiting 180 participants in order to determine if orthodontic patients can benefit 
from decreased peak levels of discomfort and shorter duration of discomfort with pre-emptive 
administration of a combination of acetaminophen and ibuprofen compared to a single dose of 
each individual medication.
STUDY PROCEDURES
As a participant of this study, you will be given a brown envelope that contains two capsules.  
The contents of the two capsules will be one of the following:
Acetaminophen (a.k.a. Tylenol®) (650mg), 
Ibuprofen (a.k.a. Advil®) (400mg), 
Acetaminophen (a.k.a. Tylenol®) (650mg) + ibuprofen (a.k.a. Advil®) (400mg)
 
     Approved 
     4/26/2017
     UW HSD IRB


Before the start of your appointment, you will be asked to take the provided medication, record 
the date and time, and answer a few short questions, which should take less than a minute.
You have the option to be given a paper workbook or online version that consists of visual 
analogue scales (VAS) which will help you record your level of discomfort at four different time 
points over the next few days.  Each recording can be completed in one to two minutes.  For your 
convenience, the requested dates and times for the recordings will be written on the top of each 
page:
Immediately following drug administration
6 hours after the appointment
The morning after the appointment
The 2nd morning after the appointment
For each recording you will mark the horizontal line circle the appropriate number that 
corresponds to your level of discomfort.  You may use the provided facial expressions, or written 
descriptions to help you determine an appropriate recording.
Each time interval will ask you to record your level of discomfort during three different 
scenarios:
At rest: The teeth should be not touching and the jaw should be relaxed
Lightly close: Gently bring your back teeth together until they touch
Chewing: Chew a small piece of wax (~1/2 inch) for 5 seconds
During the study you will be asked to not take any additional analgesics.  If you absolutely must 
take additional analgesics please record what you took, how much, when you took it, and if it 
was for dental pain.
If you have completed the paper version of the workbook, please bring it to your next 
appointment at the University of Washington and return it to the front desk upon check-in.  
Participation in this study will have no effect on your treatment and you are not obligated to 
answer or complete any portion of the study against your will.  You are free to refuse any portion 
of the study.
RISKS, STRESS, OR DISCOMFORT
The medication given to you will be randomly determined and will include one of the following:
Acetaminophen (a.k.a. Tylenol®) (650mg), 
Ibuprofen (a.k.a. Advil®) (400mg), 
Acetaminophen (a.k.a. Tylenol®) (650mg) + ibuprofen (a.k.a. Advil®) (400mg)
The doses are determined from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommended 
doses for each medication for ages 12+ and over 88 lbs.  If you have not taken one of the 
medications before, there may be unanticipated side effects.  These commonly taken medications

Statistical Analysis Plan
Data analysis was performed blinded for the medication groups.  Descriptive statistics were 
determined for the pain scores at each time interval for the three experimental groups.  A one-way 
analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey’s post-hoc test was used to determine the differences in 
mean pain scores at each time interval among the three groups.  Results were determined to be 
statistically significant at P<0.05.
A similar study1 found the combined mean pain scores of acetaminophen and ibuprofen to be 
24.8mm±17.1 (mean±SD) and 20.1mm±13.5, respectively, when measured using a 100-mm VAS. 
Clinical significance was established by a difference in mean pain scores of 10mm or greater.  Each 
group must have a sample size of 46 participants in order to demonstrate a statistical significance using 
the described data at α=0.05 and power=80%.

HSD recognizes that everyone wotld like their IRB applicatons to be reviewed as qtickly as possible. To enstre fairness, it is 
HSD policy to review applicatons in the order in which they are received. However, HSD will assign a higher priority to 
research with externally-imposed trgency that is beyond the control of the researcher. Researchers are encotraged to 
commtnicate as soon as possible with their HSD staf contact person when there is an trgent sittaton (in other words, before 
stbmitting the IRB applicaton). Examples  a researcher plans to test an experimental vaccine that has jtst been developed for 
a newly emerging epidemic; a researcher has an tnexpected opporttnity to collect data from sttdents when the end of the 
school year is only fotr weeks away. 
HSD may ask for doctmentaton of the externally-imposed trgency. A higher priority shotld not be reqtested to compensate 
for a researcher’s failtre to prepare an IRB applicaton in a tmely manner. Note that IRB review reqtires a certain minimtm 
amotnt of tme; withott stfcient tme, the IRB may not be able to review and approve an applicaton by a deadline.

Orthodontic tooth movement induces an inflammatory response that can cause patients mild to moderate pain, 
especially within the first few days after forces have been applied.  It has been shown that the use of over-the-
counter analgesics such as acetaminophen and NSAIDs (i.e. ibuprofen) can be used effectively in the treatment of 
mild to moderate pain caused by orthodontic tooth movement.  When such analgesics are taken preemptively to 
the introduction of orthodontic forces, a greater reduction in postoperative pain has been reported. 
The combined use of acetaminophen and ibuprofen has been shown to have an additive relationship in the control 
of mild to moderate dental pain following tooth extractions.  While each drug can individually reduce pain, the 
combination has been shown to be even more efficacious.  
This study is designed to determine if the preemptive use of a combination of acetaminophen and ibuprofen is 
more effective in reducing dental pain following orthodontic treatment when compared to the use of 
acetaminophen and ibuprofen alone.
Hypothesis:
Patients taking a combination of acetaminophen and ibuprofen prior to orthodontic treatment will report less pain 
when compared to those that premedicate with acetaminophen or ibuprofen alone.

Pain associated with orthodontic tooth movement is generated by an inflammatory process.  This 
hyperalgesic result can reduce patient compliance and may be a deterrent for treatment for some 
individuals.  Prostaglandins are one of the primary mediators of this inflammatory response and are 
synthesized by the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which exists as two forms: COX-1 (constitutive), 
and COX-2 (inducible).  The use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been 
shown to inhibit the activity of COX, thus achieving some of its analgesic effect by its anti-
inflammatory properties.1
Numerous studies have shown the use of analgesics, such as NSAIDs and acetaminophen, to be 
effective in the control and management of pain induced by orthodontic tooth movement.2, 3, 4  Pre-
emptive administration of analgesics an hour before the placement of orthodontic separators has 
been shown to have a greater reduction in pain than analgesic administration following the 
procedure.5, 6, 7  Acetaminophen (650mg) and ibuprofen (400mg) have been shown to be similarly 
effective as a pre-emptive analgesic for the control of dental pain following separator and initial 
archwire placement.4, 8, 9  
The combined use of acetaminophen and ibuprofen has been demonstrated to be more effective 
than either medication alone for the treatment of post-operative dental pain.10, 11, 12  The combination 
of acetaminophen with NSAIDs has been shown to have a synergistic relationship in reducing 
visceral pain in a rat model.13 It has been suggested that the simultaneous use acetaminophen and 
NSAIDs has held an additive analgesic effect against other prostaglandin mediated pain such as 
osteoarthritis, dental surgery, and other surgical procedures.14
To our knowledge, there is no research that has been done that investigates the pre-emptive use of a 
combination of acetaminophen and ibuprofen for the control of dental pain associated with orthodontic 
treatment.  We are interested in discovering if the recommended use of a combination of analgesics for the 
control of dental pain can be used pre-emptively in the orthodontic setting.

It is not necessary to stmmarize all disctssion that has led to the development of the sttdy protocol. The IRB is interested 
only in short stmmaries abott experiences or preliminary work that stggest the sttdy is feasible and that risks are 
reasonable relatve to the benefts. Examples  Yot have already condtcted a Phase 1 sttdy of an experimental drtg which

Stbject tnits mean tnits within a grotp. For most research sttdies, a grotp will consist of individtals. However, the tnit of 
interest in some research is not the individtal. Examples   

Dyads stch as caregiver-and-Alzheimer’s patent, or parent and child

Families

Other tnits, stch as sttdent-parent-teacher
Stbject grotp means categories of stbjects that are meaningftl for yotr research. Some research has only one stbject grotp –

By age – for example, children who are 6, 10, or 14 years old. 
The IRB reviews the ntmber of stbjects yot plan to sttdy in the context of risks and benefts. Yot may stbmit a Modifcaton 
to increase this ntmber at any tme afer yot receive IRB approval. If the IRB determines that yotr research involves no more

Examples  It wotld be ctlttrally inappropriate in some internatonal settings for a woman to be directly contacted by a male 
researcher; instead, the researcher may need to ask a male family member for permission before the woman can be

Patients of the University of Washington Department of Orthodontics that are scheduled for archwire adjustments 
from March to June 2017 will be screened for this study.  Upon check in for their appointment, the clinic will be 
instructed to provide the patient with a recruitment flyer regarding the study.  Interested participants will return the 
flyer to the front desk and the principal investigator will meet with them before the scheduled appointment to 
review the consent form.  Participants will be asked if they meet all of the eligibility requirements that are outlined 
on the application.  The consent form will have a description of the study included in it and will be used to help 
answer any questions that the participant may have.

Recruitment flyers will be available for the front office staff of the clinic.  The front office staff is able to view 
the reason for the appointment and will distribute the recruitment flyer when the patient checks in. 
The consent form will be used to help explain the details of the study as well as answer any questions.

HSD encotrages researchers to consider tploading descriptons of most recrtitment and screening materials instead of the 
materials themselves. The goal is to provide the researchers with the fexibility to change some informaton on the materials  
withott stbmitting a Modifcaton for IRB approval of the changes. Examples 

Yot cotld provide a list of talking points that will be tsed for phone or in-person conversatons instead of a script.  

For the descripton of a fyer, yot might incltde the informaton that it will provide the sttdy phone ntmber and the 
name of a sttdy contact person (withott providing the acttal phone ntmber or name). In doing so, yot wotld not 
need to stbmit a Modifcaton if/when the sttdy phone ntmber or contact person changes. Also, instead of listng the  
incltsion/excltsion criteria, yot might state that the fyer will list one or a few of the major incltsion/excltsion 
criteria.

For the descripton of a video or a website, yot might incltde a descripton of the possible vistal elements and a list 
of the content (e.g., sttdy phone ntmber; sttdy contact person; top three incltsion/excltsion criteria; payment of

The IRB expects the consent process or sttdy informaton provided to the stbjects to incltde informaton abott the ntmber 
and amotnt of payments, and especially the tme when stbjects can expect to receive payment. One of the most freqtent 
complaints received by HSD is from stbjects who expected to receive cash or a check on the day that they completed a sttdy 
and who were angry or disappointed when payment took 6-8 weeks to reach them. 
Do not incltde a descripton of any expenses that will be reimbtrsed. 
When the participants return the completed workbook they will be able to enter a raffle for one of four $50 VISA 
gift cards.  The participant will tear off the provided card on last page of their workbook, write their contact 
information, and place it in a locked collection box.  Participants that elected to complete the electronic version of 
the workbook will be entered into the raffle when their last entry has been submitted.  At the conclusion of the 
study, four of the raffle tickets will be randomly drawn.  The winners will be contacted and instructed to claim 
their prize at the front office at their next appointment or at an agreed upon time.

  October 20, 2014.
There will be three groups of medication: acetaminophen (650mg); ibuprofen (400mg); and 
acetaminophen (650mg) + ibuprofen (400mg). The medications will be prepared by the Kelley-Ross 
Compounding Group (Seattle, WA) to make each medication similar in appearance in order to prevent 
recognition of the medication by the investigator or participant. The medications will be placed in individual 
vials and labeled as either A, B, or C.  A sealed document will be sent with the medications that can properly 
identify which medications were assigned to each group, and this document will not be opened until the 
conclusion of the study.
During the informed consent process, participants will be asked if they meet all of the eligibility 
requirements that are outlined on the recruitment flyer.  After reviewing and signing the informed consent, 
each eligible patient will be given a workbook that has a pre-designated participant number.  A master list 
will be made in Microsoft Excel that uses a random number generator to randomly assign each participant 
number to Group A, B, or C, which will correspond to the indicated medication that is to be delivered.  The 
appropriate medication will be administered with a 3 oz. paper cup of water.  The patient will give the 
provider the first page of the workbook to complete.  The provider will record the patient’ age, gender, and 
give a brief description of the treatment that will be completed at the appointment.  Once completed, the 
information will be returned to the principal investigator at the front desk.
Pain intensity will be measured using a numerical visual analog scale (VAS) immediately following 
drug administration, 6 hours after orthodontic treatment, the next morning after orthodontic treatment, the 
second morning after orthodontic treatment.  At the aforementioned time periods, the participant will record 
their pain on the VAS for each of the following scenarios: teeth at rest, back teeth lightly touching, and when 
chewing a small piece (~0.5 inch) of provided wax.  Participants will be instructed to not use other analgesics 
during the week if they can help it.  If the participant must use an analgesic, they should record the time, 
name, and amount taken.
The participant will have the option to complete the recordings digitally through the website Catalyst.  
If the participant does not wish to complete the submissions online, then they will be given paper copies of 
the workbook to take home with them.  Once completed, the patient can return the workbook at their next 
appointment.  When returning the completed workbook, participants have the option of tearing off the last 
page of their workbook, writing their contact information, and entering it into a raffle for one of four $50 gift 
cards.  Participants electing to complete the recordings digitally will be entered into the raffle upon 
submission of their last recording.   
The recordings from the VAS workbooks will becompiled in Microsoft Excel.

Access means to view or perceive data, btt not to possess or record it. See, in contrast, the defniton of “obtain”.
Identiable means that the identfy of an individtal is or may be readily (1) ascertained by the researcher or any other 
member of the sttdy team from specifc data variables or from a combinaton of data variables, or (2) associated with the 
informaton. 
Direct identiers are direct links between a stbject and data/specimens. Examples incltde (btt are not limited to)  name, date  
of birth, medical record ntmber, email or IP address, pathology or strgery accession ntmber, sttdent ntmber, or a collecton 
of yotr data that is (when taken together) identfable. 
Indirect identiers are informaton that links between direct identfers and data/specimens. Examples  a stbject code or 
psetdonym.  
Key refers to a single place where direct identfers and indirect identfers are linked together so that, for example, coded data  
can be identfed as relatng to a specifc person. Example  a master list that contains the data code and the identfers linked 
to the codes.
Obtain means to possess or record in any fashion (writng, electronic doctment, video, email, voice recording, etc.) for 
research ptrposes and to retain for any length of tme. This is diferent from accessing, which means to view or perceive data.

9 PRIVACY AND CONFIDENTIALITY
9.1 Privacy protectois. De cribe tee  tep  you  ill ttke, if tny, to tddre   po  ible privtcy concern  of  ubject  tnd 
potenitl  ubject .
Privacy refers to the sense of being in control of access that others have to otrselves. This can be an isste with respect to 
recrtitng, consentng, sensitvity of the data being collected, and the method of data collecton.
Examples  

Many stbjects will feel a violaton of privacy if they receive a leter asking them to partcipate in a sttdy becatse they  
have oooo medical conditon, when their name, contact informaton, and medical conditon were drawn from 
medical records withott their consent. Example  the IRB expects that “cold call” recrtitment leters will inform the 
stbject abott how their informaton was obtained.

Recrtitng stbjects immediately prior to a sensitve or invasive procedtres (e.g., in an ottpatent strgery waitng 
room) will feel like an invasion of privacy to some individtals.

Asking stbjects abott sensitve topics (e.g. details abott sextal behavior) may feel like an invasion of privacy to some  
individtals.
Patients already seeking orthodontic treatment at the University of Washington Graduate Orthodontics clinic will 
receive a recruitment flyer informing them of the study.  If they decide they want to participate then they will 
receive more information.
