Honestly, look into pain killer studies. We still don't know how many of them work even though we know that they do work.

Tylenol (acetaminophen/paracetamol) is one of the most used painkillers and we still don't know the mechanism of action.

but it tends to be weaker than the nonselective cox inhibitors, otc nsaids.
