Summary

This trial explores how the way pain relief options are presented affects what patients choose after wisdom tooth extraction. Adults planning to have one or more third molars removed will use a decision aid that offers either 2 options (non-opioid combo or opioid) or 3 options (non-opioid combo, opioid, or non-opioid combo with a 'just-in-case' opioid prescription). The goal is to see if including the 'just-in-case' option leads more people to pick an opioid, which could inform how doctors guide pain management decisions.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Decision aids with 2 or 3 pain relief options (non-opioid, opioid, or non-opioid with 'just-in-case' opioid)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could help doctors design better decision aids that reduce unnecessary opioid prescriptions after dental surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early study focused on choices, not actual pain outcomes. Results may not apply to other surgeries or settings.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Be able to understand the informed consent. * Provide signed and dated informed consent form * Be able to understand all directions for data gathering instruments in English * Be willing and able to comply with all study procedures * Planning to undergo extraction of one or more 3rd molars * Be 18 years or older Exclusion Criteria: While the actual analgesic prescribed to the patient may be different then the analgesic selected by the participant (their actual analgesic is NOT part of the research protocol) participants who self-report inability to take ibuprofen, acetaminophen or an opioid are not eligible since the decision aid is designed to help a patient select between a combination of ibuprofen/acetaminophen and an opioid containing analgesic. Participants would also be excluded due to any additional criteria that would place the individual at increased risk or preclude the individual's full compliance with or completion of the study which includes: * Prior participation in this study * Inability or refusal to provide informed consent
