What is Gates theory of pain?
Gates theory has to do with the speed of nerve impulse transmission. The neurons that transmit impulses for pain, such as nociceptors, are unmyelinated and travels slower. The receptors that are stimulated by cold travel faster. So, if you a cold pack on the part of the body that is in pain, the signal would get to the spinal cord faster than the pain and 'close the gate.'
