You aren't looking from the perspective of a patient.
A patient might ask themselves: Should I take Morphine or should I get a hypnosis treatment? What's more likely to help me: A or B? You don't need to isolate anything. For the patient it's irrelevant why A beats B.
Once you add ideology it becomes important why A beats B.
Allows you to test hypnosis against morphine, not hypnosis against celery sticks.
