Evaluating the benefits of a second pain treatment following a clinical trial.

Conclusions: There appears to be some value to adding an open label phase to the end of a trial of pain treatments. A substantial portion of study participants elected to participate and reported it to be beneficial. Exploring data from an open label phase can illuminate important aspects of patient experience, barriers to and facilitators of care, as well as treatment preferences.
