Pain ResearchGate Control Theory
• Acute and chronic pain
• Pain sensation travels up the central nervous system to the brain through a “gate”
• “Gate” – triggered by cell changes – sends descending messages that alter sensory input
• Pain isn’t pain until it reaches the brain
• Emotions, context, etc. affect pain sensations
• Pain is a negotiable, individual experience
• Pain centres in the brain – they just keep moving around
(Jackson, 2002, p. 21)
