I had very recently posted information on the best study to date showing acetaminophen to be no better than placebo for acute back pain. This study from JAMA found a significant association between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children. Jeff Chapa, director of maternal fetal medicine at Cleveland Clinic was quoted as saying "We really should start looking at non-pharmacological ways to deal with pain,"
I and most DC's treat many women during pregnancy. I have several OB's that refer pregnant woman to my office.
Does that surprise anyone?
