Clinical Trial Summary

Spinal surgeries are generally associated with intense pain in the postoperative period, especially for the initial few days. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of intraoperative intravenous acetaminophen in spine surgery on postoperative analgesic requirements, pain scores, patient satisfaction, and clinical recovery. Enrolled patients are randomized to receive either intravenous acetaminophen or placebo at the time of surgical closure. It is hypothesized that patients receiving intravenous acetaminophen will have improved pain scores, require less opiate medication, and have better patient satisfaction than those receiving placebo.
