Core Tip	The experience of pain has much to gain from a social psychology perspective where experiments modulate the patient’s context and affect their expression. Clinicians and providers should understand that listening sends powerful social cues back to the patient in terms of empathetic feedback. When this feedback is provided in a timely fashion (at or near the time of onset) and in combination with ruling out serious medical pathology a clinician can provide powerful signals that changes patient’s experience of pain.
