The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

no, there's not one pain brain area. It is thought to be more of a distributed network of different brain systems. We at one point in time called it the pain matrix, which represented areas such as the insular cortex, the cingulate cortex, the amygdala, a number of these brain regions that all subserve different functions.
there's no one single pain region in the brain that was another mistake that was made along the way... it's not one brain region that generates the experience of pain it is a distributed network it's all of these regions coming together and working in harmony
It is a distributed network doing what? generating the experience of pain and then generating a typically a response to
