In this experiment participants didn't get to choose whether they would get paracetamol or not, so that shouldn't be a factor.

Right, I mentioned it was controlled for. I meant people not in a study, that are in pain, being less empathetic to others.
The study showed that people taking this drug became less empathetic, due to the drug, not the pain. I'm saying there is an additional consideration based on experiencing pain, that you then may or may not take drugs for, but that has its own effect.
