Patients will be followed for 12 months and the following Specific Aims will be assessed:
Aim 1: Evaluate whether utilization of a non-opioid postoperative pain regimen after ACDF leads to lower rates of new chronic opioid use when compared with postoperative pain regimens utilizing opioids.
Aim 2: Evaluate whether utilization of a non-opioid postoperative pain regimen after ACDF results in equivalent postoperative pain scores in the early postoperative period.
Aim 3: Evaluate whether utilization of a non-opioid postoperative pain regimen after ACDF leads to equivalent clinical outcomes when compared with postoperative pain regimens utilizing opioids at 3 months and 12 months.
Aim 4: Evaluate whether utilization of a non-opioid postoperative pain regimen after ACDF leads to fewer postoperative complications when compared with postoperative pain regimens utilizing opioids.
