    The document discusses the history and theories of pain, including the gate control theory of pain proposed by Melzack and Wall in 1965 to replace the Cartesian model of pain. It also mentions Patrick Wall's work on neuronal plasticity in the dorsal horn and the use of TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) and ALTENs to treat pain. Furthermore, it depicts the pain cycle showing how pain can lead to functional impairment, increased muscle tone, and restricted joint movement.
