Can tylenol and advil replace opioids for surgery pain?

NCT ID NCT04452344

Summary

This large study aims to give doctors better evidence for managing pain after surgery. It directly compares a combination of common, non-prescription pain relievers (like ibuprofen and acetaminophen) against a standard prescription opioid. The research involves over 1,800 adults having wisdom teeth removed to see if the over-the-counter option controls pain just as well, which could help reduce opioid prescriptions.
