📋 "Do I Qualify?" — 1-Minute Self Screener
Instant ChecklistCheck every box below. If you can check all of them, you may meet the study's basic screening requirements (final eligibility is confirmed by the site team).
Usually NOT eligible if any of the following apply:
- Exclusion Criteria:
- Participants with the following conditions will be excluded from our study: fibromyalgia, chronic pain, cancer (except for breast cancer). This is because these participants have pain at baseline and it will be difficult to discern if their pain is from surgery or their chronic condition.
- Participants on chronic pain medications will also be excluded from our study because it will be difficult to tell if their pain control is related to their established regimen or the one we are implementing.
- If participants who are not fluent in English, because all study materials are in English.
- Participants with stage 3 Chronic Kidney Disease or higher will also be excluded from the study as they cannot take ibuprofen (according to National Kidney Foundation), which is included in our pain regimen.
