Can Hypnosis Help With Pain Relief?

There is some research in the real world showing that hypnosis, at least for a people who are susceptible to hypnosis, can be effective. Now, i think there would be, i think the effects we're talking about here would be much more modest than what is imagined in this science fiction scenaria. You know, making somebody think that their hand is literally on fire, or burning down to a piece of ash. I think this might have some mitigating effect on sensations of pain, but not like a totally mitigating effect. If you can deaden people's sensitivity to pain through hypnosis, you could probably increase it as well - though that would be much less ethical to study.
