Nothing is more worse than pain. Although Winston is starting to learn and understand the Party he still hates the Party. It's the worst thing to endure such physical pain and it can make you do anything for a chance for it to stop. Winston is being re taught everything and in this case Winston's hatred for the Party is turning into love.
When people are in pain they want to do anything to make it stop. This torturing of Winston is shaping his mind to obey and cure them so that it's easy for them to not think about anything in the past and focus on loving Big Brother. O'Brien holds up 4 fingers and asks if the party said that it was 5 how many would it be. After much pain and questioning, Winston finally sees 5 fingers.
When people are put in prison they are somewhat being tortured in a way. They are held back from the real word and held captive. This "pain" on them can make them finally accept what they did was wrong and be set free with new understanding. The prisoners are taught to "love" society and doing anything to harm it can cause one to come back to this prison of mental torture.
Winston is being educated in room 101 with pain to come to a new understanding of the Party. The extremes Big Brother takes for this to happen is insane but it probably needs to be this extreme to turn the hatred of the party into the love of it.
