Answer:

Gate control theory of pain

Explanation:

The gate control theory of pain sates that non-painful input closes the nerve gates to painful input, which prevents pain sensation from traveling to the central nervous system (brain).

Therefore, the idea that large fibers in the sensory nerves can prevent impulses from reaching the brain and thus prevent the sensation of pain is part of the gate control theory of pain.
