Its very much a function of beliefs. For instance in one study we did,
looking at acupuncture, the strongest predictor variable for subsequent pain
control via acupuncture was belief, and the strength of that belief that
that method would work for you.

I found similar results with people who were inexperienced and untrained in
hypnotic pain control. Until they had the experience in hypnosis, and what
it could do, only their beliefs (or a placebo effect) was a fairly
reasonable predictor of how much pain reduction they experienced.
