Numerous articles have stated a positive link between psychological disturbances (OCD, depression, tics) and sensitivity to pain, with levels of IL-1b, IL-6, IL-12, and TNF-a.
An exhaustive review of herbs that either enhance or inhibit these cytokines can be found in the article I have attached.
Perhaps this may open up a new avenue to those with chronic pain or a partial response to psychotropic medication.
Good luck!
(Note: actual data on which herbs act as inhibitors or activators can be found on Pages 13-17).
