Tylenol may no longer be the answer when you're looking for back pain relief.

A study published this week in the journal Lancet concluded that acetaminophen, the drug found in Tylenol, is no better than a placebo or dummy pill when it comes to alleviating lower back pain, or improving pain levels or overall quality of life, according to Fortune.com.

The study, which was conducted at clinics in Sydney, tracked 1,652 people with lower back pain for four weeks.

They were given either paracetamol, what acetaminophen is known as overseas, or a placebo as a form of relief. Researchers reportedly found that there was almost no different in the number of days required to recover between the two groups.

"Simple analgesics such as paracetamol might not be of primary importance in the management of acute lower back pain," stated Dr. Christopher Williams from George Institute for Global Health at the University of Sydney in Australia and the lead author of the study.

Williams added, "The results suggest we need to reconsider the universal recommendation to provide paracetamol as a first-line treatment for low-back pain, although understanding why paracetamol works for other pain states, but not low-back pain, would direct future treatments."

Despite the new findings, further research needs to be conducted before acetaminophen can be dismissed as a relief for back pain, researchers stated, according to Fox News.

"This is the first study of its kind, so it's tough to make a decision based on just one study," stated Dr. Michael Mizhirisky, a physical rehabilitation specialist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York who was not involved in the study.
