Article Synopsis
- Analgesic trials often fail because patients don't report pain accurately, which can skew results.
- A study tested a new training program (APRT) to improve pain reporting accuracy among subjects taking Pregabalin for diabetic nerve pain.
- The results showed that those who received APRT had better pain reporting accuracy and a lower placebo response compared to those who didn’t, indicating that training can enhance trial outcomes.
