Measure
Placebo, Ibuprofen 200mg, Ibuprofen 600mg
Subjects will receive one dose of placebo or ibuprofen at three testing sessions in a randomized, double-blind, counter-balanced order. In this arm, the subject will receive the doses in the following order: Placebo, Ibuprofen 200mg, Ibuprofen 600mg. Each study session will occur 1-2 weeks following the previous session. Ibuprofen will be capsuled, and identical placebo capsules will be produced.

Measure
Placebo
n=19 Participants
Subjects will receive one dose of placebo (sugar pill) at one of the three testing sessions . Placebo capsules will be produced in the same manner as the ibuprofen by a local compounding pharmacy in Tulsa, OK. Ibuprofen: On the day of sessions 2-4, subjects will receive either placebo, 200 mg of ibuprofen or 600 mg of ibuprofen after signing the consent form for this study in a randomized, double-blind, counter balanced order. Each study session will occur 1-2 weeks following the previous session. Ibuprofen will be capsuled, and identical placebo capsules will be produced.
