Huh that article never used to be paywalled sorry, there is a way to use archive to read it but it's never worked for me.

Because the ones feeling the pain relief, that don't know if they got the real drugs or placebo, are given naloxone and the effect is reversed. So they had opiates in their system that were blocked, but were not given any, meaning their body released the endogenous ones.

Let me know if that doesn't work this is the first time I've actually done this, with a tool before I tried from archive and it never worked.
