I was reading some report that I can't remember where that discussed experiments involving the placebo effect. What they were able to show is that areas of the brain involved in percieving and controlling pain are affected by the perception of how painful the experience should be. That this response is tied to the placebo effect. I can't find the original article and I do not recall the details. If I come across it I'll post more.
