First seen Dec 18, 2025 · Last updated Apr 24, 2026 · Updated 13 times

Summary

This study tests whether taking celecoxib (an anti-inflammatory) plus Tylenol can reduce the need for stronger opioid painkillers like oxycodone after a parotidectomy (salivary gland surgery). About 84 adults will take either celecoxib or a placebo, along with Tylenol, and use opioids only if needed. They will track their pain and any side effects for a week.
