gate-control theory. Definitions: 1. a theory to explain the mechanism of pain; small-fiber afferent stimuli, particularly pain, entering the substantia gelatinosa can be modulated by large-fiber afferent stimuli and descending spinal pathways so that their transmission to ascending spinal pathways is blocked (gated).
When using gate control theory to ease the discomfort of labor, keep a few things in mind. First, large diameter nerves habituate faster than small diameter nerves. That means that getting your back massaged may work like a charm for about twenty minutes and then suddenly stop. That's just your body's way of saying it is time to try something else. Second, it can be helpful to use visualization techniques or focal points as you try the gate theory because this focuses you and can help distract you from the discomfort. What questions do you have about gate control theory? Did you apply the concepts in your labor?
