Yes it's like the warrior's scream a bit. Tensing helps too to wane pain away. It's done unconscious and can be used to leverage in a fight or to wane it off quickly. While screaming a lot of tension is already happening.
I myself like to think of it as "bad chi". Just as chi can be collected throughout the body and directed and dumped, pain can be too. Breathing pain away is for me like breathing up chi, just different polarity (?).
And also, the more you feel it the faster it wanes, maybe screaming helps experiencing it more too and so it's over faster. My sifu taught me to focus on injuries because it makes the body heal faster too instead of just ignoring it.
This is all nonscientific personal opinion though :)
