What role does fear of the unknown play in the experience of pain?

Fear of the unknown plays a significant role in the experience of pain. Fear can make the brain feel more pain, fear can make you believe that something is worse than it is. Fear of the unknown usually makes the brain overestimate the situation and what to expect. Fear takes over your body and makes you suffer more. For example, if you were bound, gagged and blindfolded and you heard someone approaching you, your heart would race, you would feel the worst fear you had in your life. But if you didn't have the blindfold, you mightn't be as scared, because you know what to expect. You might even feel relieved because its someone there to rescue you. The main difference between these two, is that if you mix fear and the brain's imagination, it creates a situation much worse than what it actually is. Pain is heightened by your tense muscles and the adrenealine pumping through your veins. Fear of the unknown always makes the experience of pain worse. Btw, if you're looking for a good example, watch the Saw movies.
