Part 2: Sample Size - Worked Calculation

Your thesis already contains a correct sample size calculation. Below is a clean, formatted version suitable for inclusion in the Methods section with added justification citations:

2-Sample Independent Means Formula

The required sample size per group for a two-tailed t-test comparing mean NRS pain scores between adolescents and adults is:
n per group = 2 × (Z_α/2 + Z_β)² × σ² / d²
ParameterValueJustification
Z_α/21.96Two-tailed α = 0.05
Z_β0.84Power = 80%
σ (SD of NRS)1.8 pointsDrawn from Scheurer et al. 1996 [Ref 5] and Fernandes et al. 1998 [Ref 6], where NRS/VAS SDs in comparable archwire-pain studies typically range 1.6-2.0
d (min detectable difference)1.0 pointWidely accepted MCID for 0-10 pain scales in orthodontic research
Calculation:
n = 2 × (1.96 + 0.84)² × 1.8² / 1.0² n = 2 × (2.80)² × 3.24 / 1 n = 2 × 7.84 × 3.24 n ≈ 50.8 → 51 per group
Total at baseline (both groups) = 102 participants
Attrition adjustment: With an anticipated 15-20% dropout over 4 timepoints (6h → 14 days):
  • Per group: 51 / 0.82 = ~62 → recruit 62-65 per group
  • Total recruitment target: 124-130 participants
Design note on power: The repeated-measures design (group × time interaction tested over 4 timepoints) generally yields equal or greater power than the single-timepoint t-test estimate above, because correlated measurements within participants reduce residual variance. This figure is therefore a conservative (safe upper-bound) target, not a minimum. If you run a formal power analysis for the full 2×4 mixed ANOVA in G*Power (select: F-tests - ANOVA: Repeated measures, within-between interaction), you can incorporate the expected within-subject correlation (typically r ≈ 0.4-0.6 in repeated pain studies) and may find a slightly smaller sample is adequate.
Reference comparison: The parent study (Olteanu et al., 2022 [Ref 1]) enrolled n = 100 across 4 age bands for a single-timepoint design. Your 120+ target is consistent with this scale and justified by the repeated-measures extension.

Quick Notes on the Questionnaire Instrument (Appendix A)

  • Section B is identical at all 4 timepoints - this is correct for repeated-measures validity. Each completion generates one NRS data point per participant per timepoint, yielding a 2 (group) × 4 (time) matrix of pain scores.
  • The time-stamp on delivery (Q1 checkbox) is important for data cleaning - verify responses were actually given at the intended timepoint, not retrospectively.
  • Section C Q1 (looking back, which was most painful) provides the subjective peak-pain endpoint for objective 2. Cross-validate this with the actual highest NRS score from Section B to check for recall bias.
  • For the analgesic item (Q6-Q8), you can compute a "medication-free pain control" rate per group as a secondary endpoint.

    ('Pain and masticatory discomfort are among the most frequently reported adverse effects of fixed orthodontic treatment and remain a leading cause of reduced patient compliance and, in some cases, discontinuation of treatment.

    ('Age is one of the most frequently cited yet inconsistently reported variables in orthodontic pain research.
