Gate control theory

Check def. below

Stimulation of sensory nerve fibers can alleviate acute and chronic pain.The application of thermal or tolerably painful stimuli (e.g., via acupunctureneedles) has a long-standing tradition in pain therapy. Shortly after the for-mulation of the gate control theory (Melzack and Wall 1965), a new form of afferent stimulation was successfully introduced into clinical practice: theexcitation of thick, myelinated Aß fibers, either by transcutaneous electricalnerve stimulation (TENS), by dorsal column stimulation, or by mechanical exci-tation of sensory nerve endings during vibratory stimuli (Wall and Sweet 1967)
Peer comment(s):

agree Dr Sue Levy (X) : most likely in the context of pain, but isn't this "control de la (com)puerta"?

You may be wise to post this under "Technical" query or similar, as it's not strictly medical, though I know it's about a TENS machine.

BTW, I have come across "Wheatstone bridge" in the context of TENS..?? That's about as far as I can go with this one.
