A new theory is proposed to explain various pain phenomena hitherto unexplainable. It is hypothesized that neurons in the thalamic region are responsible for the generation of most pain, particularly in chronic pain states. It is also hypothesized that the thalamic neurons are organized according to a master scheme representing a homunculus in the fetal position. Various painful conditions and the treatments of them including the trigger points phenomena, neurosurgical techniques, acupuncture and acupuncture anesthesia can be explained on this basis.
一种新理论被提出来解释迄今为止无法解释的各种疼痛现象。据推测，丘脑区域的神经元负责产生大多数疼痛，尤其是在慢性疼痛状态下。还推测丘脑神经元是按照一个代表胎儿姿势的小人模型的总体方案组织起来的。基于此，可以解释各种疼痛状况及其治疗方法，包括触发点现象、神经外科技术、针灸和针刺麻醉。
