Here is a link to the study:
http://www.pnas.org/content/91/25/12308.full.pdf
If you carefully read this paper, the methodology was to induce spinal cord injury to the rats then immediately treat them by direct innoculation of medically-treated pellets of multiple substances 3 of which included pregnenolone.
The paper is entitled "Key role for pregnenolone in combination therapy that promotes recovery after spinal cord injury" so I am not sure how Dr. Tennant was able to make the assumption at least from this one study, that "pregnenolone may be useful in healing painful conditions."
Interesting study although I am unclear if results with pregnenolone, such as this, have since been repeated. The study is 15 years old...
