Pain Theory

100

This theory explains why rubbing your arm rapidly after getting hit in the arm may decrease pain temporarily

Gate Control Theory

200

This theory describes the cycle in which pain causes muscle guarding and muscles guarding causes pain

Pain spasm cycle

300

This theory explains why methods like icy hot relieve pain

Gate Control Theory

400

Large fibers move information faster than slow fibers
