On the basis of the gate control theory, an attempt was made to influence acute pain by transcutaneous nerve stimulation (TNS) in the region of the trigeminal nerve. After favorable first results in clinical application, we determined sensation and pain treshold values of teeth in two groups of patients by exactly defined electric stimuli of different degrees. After transcutaneous electro-stimulation of the pertinent ramus of the trigeminal nerve with rectangular stimulating currents, the threshold measurements were repeated. The thresholds were raised by an average 79% as far as sensation was concerned, and by an average 69% as far as pain was concerned.
基于闸门控制理论，尝试通过三叉神经区域的经皮神经刺激（TNS）来影响急性疼痛。在临床应用取得良好初步结果后，我们通过不同程度的精确界定电刺激，测定了两组患者牙齿的感觉和疼痛阈值。在用矩形刺激电流对三叉神经相关分支进行经皮电刺激后，重复进行阈值测量。就感觉而言，阈值平均提高了79%，就疼痛而言，阈值平均提高了69%。
