Note: All baseline (pre-intervention) differences between groups are nonsignificant. NRS = Numeric Rating Scale; MPQ-2 = McGill Pain Questionnaire-2; MPQ-TOT = McGill Pain Questionnaire-Short Form Total Score; MPQ-PPI = McGill Pain Questionnaire-Short Form - Present Pain Intensity; EO = Endogenous Opioid Index (naloxone minus placebo condition value for the measure of interest).
