Answer: The gate-control theory of pain modulation

Explanation: when we touch a hot surface, receive insect bite or a traumatic experience some signals are sent to the brain that causes the individual to withdraw from the causative agent or respond in a way to reduce the pain. The gate-control theory of pain modulation proposed that activation of non nociceptive fibres ( nerves which do not transmit pain signals)can interfere with signals from pain fibers, thereby inhibiting pain.

Therefore by rubbing your skin after receiving a painful stimulus often result in a feeling as though the pain has been lessened is an example of gate-control theory of pain modulation.

Answer:

Rubbing the skin after receiving a painful stimulus lessened the pain because it is hypothesized that inhibitory interneurons are activated by the collaterals of an activated neuron associated with a mechanoreceptor from the skin.

The gate-control theory of pain modulation may account for this phenomenon.

serious [3.7K]
It depends on your nature. I think every person have its own technique he/she uses when in tension.
But i saw that most people use the technique to drink alcohol to reduce or release their tension. some people liked to sit alone to reduce tension, some liked to listen music, some went on long drive, so everyone used different techniques. When i have to release tension, i will watch movie.
