Study: Acetaminophen No Better Than Placebo For Lower Back Pain
The New York Times’ “Well” blog reports that “a large, rigorous trial has found that acetaminophen works no better than a placebo” for lower back pain. The AP also reported that investigators “assigned more than 1,600 people with acute lower back pain to either acetaminophen–with a maximum dose of 4,000 mg per day–or a placebo.”
The researchers “found no major difference in the time it took people to recover: those on acetaminophen got better after 17 days while those who took dummy pills recovered after 16 days.”
The research “focused on the kind of back pain most people experience, resulting from lack of exercise, bad posture, or a strain.”
