The article states:

"...Terri does react to painful stimuli. Intriguingly, her doctor testified he prescribes pain medication for her every month during the course of her menstrual period."

NO. I read that during her physical therapy, she found things painful, and moaned, when they did certain things, which lead them to do a bone scan and found bruised bones. So she clearly feels pain.
