Hypnotizability and Placebo Analgesia in Waking and Hypnosis as Modulators of Auditory Startle Responses in Healthy Women: An ERP Study - Fig 2

Mean and standard errors of pain (panels a, b) and distress ratings (panels c, d), as measures of sensory-discriminative and affective-motivational components of pain. Panel (a) displays pain scores in high and low pain expectation (Hi P.Expect and Lo P.Expect) and panel (b) in high and low hypnotizable participants (HH and LH) during pain and placebo treatments. Panel (c) shows distress ratings of waking and hypnosis conditions in high and low hypnotizable subjects (HHs and LHs). Panel (d) depicts distress ratings during pain and placebo treatments in waking and hypnosis conditions. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
