, 2. Transmission - Is the conduction of pain impulses along the A-beta and C-fibers into
the dorsal horn of the spinal cord.
3. Perception - Is the conscious awareness of pain, which occurs primarily in the reticular
and limbic systems, and the cerebral cortex.
4. Modulation - Involves many different mechanisms that increase or decrease the
transmission of pain signals throughout the nervous system.Depending on the mechanism,
modulation can occur before, during, or after pain is perceived.
*The Gate Control Theory Of Pain.
Pain transmission is modulated by a balance of impulses conducted to the spinal cord, where
cells in the substantial gelatinosa function as a "gate" that regulates the nociceptive transmission
to higher centers in the CNS. Does not account for phantom pain.
Gate opens= Increased perception of pain (Large A fibers)
Gate closes= Decreased perception of pain (small C fibers)
*The Pattern Theory Of Pain
Describes the role of impulses, intensity, and the re-patterning of the CNS.Although this theory
evolved to provide an explanation for neuropathic pain, this theory does not account for all types
of pain experiences.

The intensity of pain is directly related to the amount of associated tissue pain.
Only accounts for acute pain.
