PHT 222 – UNIT – 4 – TENS - QUIZ

TRUE OR FALSE  TENS is the application of E.S. to the skin via surface electrodes to stimulate nerve (Sensory) fibers primarily for PAIN RELIEF symptomatically.  Nociceptive pathways means (the encoding and processing in the nervous system of noxious stimuli)nervous systemnoxious stimuli  In Acute pain, The signs & symptoms of inflammation are very strongly perceived which leads to very intense pain.  The signs & symptoms of inflammation is very less – leads to mild pain in certain activities.

TRUE OR FALSE  A δ is a Myelinated nerve fiber.  C afferent fiber is an unmyelinated nerve fiber.  Neurotransmitter – Substance “P” is believed to be the neurotransmitter involved at the synapse between 1 st & 2 nd order neurons.  The passage of nociceptive information is interrupted along several stages of ascending nociceptive pathways to produce Neuromodulation of pain.

TRUE OR FALSE  The modulation of pain occurs by Gate control theory (Pre-synaptic inhibition) & Descending pain suppression The fundamental – physiological gating mechanism exists in the dorsal horn which may allow or inhibit the nociceptive to proceed centrally.  It is believed that the input from mechanoreceptor effectively ↓ the excitability of nociceptor cell to pain generated stimuli.  If pain stimuli is more then the information is passed to the higher centers with out inhibition.
