What is the theory of the gate control?
The stimulation of afferent fibers by TENS can provide a mechanism that keeps the gate closed to painful stimuli.
TENS acts on pain modulating systems, increasing their tolerance to pain by causing analgesia.
TENS uses high-frequency current to alleviate pain.
TENS is a non-invasive analgesic technique used for the symptomatic management of acute and non-malignant chronic pain.
a) Only statement I is correct.
b) Only statements II and III are correct.
c) Only statements I and IV are correct.
d) All statements are incorrect.

A teoria do controle de portão (gate control) sugere que a dor é modulada por um "portão" localizado na medula espinhal que pode ser aberto ou fechado por sinais nervosos. A estimulação de fibras aferentes por TENS pode fornecer um mecanismo que mantém o portão fechado para estímulos dolorosos. Portanto, a alternativa correta é a letra A) Somente a afirmação I está correta.
