Theories of pain: from specificity to gate control.
Several theoretical frameworks have been proposed to explain the physiological basis of pain, although none yet completely accounts for all aspects of pain perception. Here, we provide a historical overview of the major contributions, ideas, and competing theories of pain from ancient civilizations to Melzack and Wall's Gate Control Theory of Pain.
متن کاملPain mechanisms: a new theory.
The nature of pain has been the subject of bitter controversy since the turn of the century (1). There are currently two opposing theories of pain: (i) specificity theory, which holds that pain is a specific modality like vision or hearing, "with its own central and peripheral apparatus" (2), and (ii) pattern theory, which maintains that the nerve impulse pattern for pain is produced by intense...

Physical pain can be clearly distinguished from other states of distress. In recent years, however, the notion that social distress is experienced as physically painful has permeated the scientific literature and popular media. This conclusion is based on the overlap of brain regions that respond to nociceptive input and sociocultural distress. Here we challenge the assumption that underlies th...
متن کاملThe golden anniversary of Melzack and Wall’s gate control theory of pain: Celebrating 50 years of pain research and management
N ovember 2015 marks the 50th anniversary of the 1965 Science publication " Pain Mechanisms: A New Theory " by Ronald Melzack and Patrick D Wall (1), in which the authors introduced the gate control theory of pain that has since revolutionized our understanding of pain mechanisms and management. The brilliance, creativity and critical thought that went into the formulation and explication of th...
متن کاملShort-Term and Long-Term Effects of Kinesio-Taping on Pain and Functional Stability in Swimmers With Shoulder Impingement Syndrome
Purpose: Kinesio-taping (KT) is a new therapeutic approach for shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS), which is common in swimmers. This study was performed to investigate the short- and long-term effects of KT on shoulder pain and functional stability in swimmers with SIS. Methods: In this quasi-experimental study (randomized control trial), 28 swimmers with SIS were randomly allocated to the ta...
