Abstract

We conducted a prospective randomized, double-blind clinical trial in patients undergoing ambulatory surgery. Eligible consenting patients were randomly allocated to one of three groups. In addition to usual analgesia, patients received pre and postoperative placebo, or pre and postoperative oral acetaminophen. Mean pain intensity by visual analogue scale (VAS) measured over 24 hours was the primary outcome measure.
