Keep in mind it’s not trivial to run pain studies at all. Placebos have a strong effect in most trials and unless you get into the moderate to severe pain category, patients subjective experience can dominate. Small changes to a trial can completely blow it up. Same with antidepressants or anything where the trial outcome is a subjective measure by the patient.
