Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
An effective and inexpensive solution to minimizing surgical complications and expediting recovery following lumbar spine surgery could be supplementation using high doses of vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid. Vit C can help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation and improve immune system and body's own chemicals to fight pain.
The researchers want to examine if Vit C is effective in decreasing pain and pain medications and improving function. Gaining a better understanding of effects of Vit C on patient recovery may lead to improved outcomes.
