Summary
This study tested whether giving acetaminophen (Tylenol) through an IV or as a pill works better for pain after lumbar spine surgery. The goal was to see if one method reduces the need for stronger opioid painkillers and their side effects. 166 adults with spinal stenosis took part, and researchers measured pain levels, opioid use, and recovery time.
