I see #326818 in February when I said "The fact that it's a "STUDY" is not the issue; the issue is that it's a "PILOT" Study...."
The words you quoted describe the problem with Pilot Studies perfectly, in the context of whether or not the CMS will accept a pilot study as proof that the ActiPatch reduces opioid use. I've never said they definitely WON'T, I always said they MIGHT, but it is absolutely not the slam dunk you imply, which means it's a problem.
And do I have to explain to you why Rawe's 2011 Preliminary Study won't satisfy the CMS? You're quoting BIEL's "evidence" page without reading the actual study, aren't you? Better read the study before you use that study as evidence, because it failed to show a statistically significant reduction in opioid use.

The P value was .07 which means the results are statistically insignificant. Rawe had to manipulate the data to achieve the P value of .002. I understand why YOU missed this, but the CMS will not miss this:
Here's the exact requirement from the NOPAIN Act again. It's important to read this literally, from the perspective of a government entity like the CMS:
