Pain is viewed as the end-product of a passive transmission system that faithfully transmits a peripheral signal to the spinal cord and on up to a pain centre in the brain. This view has led to an approach of managing postoperative pain that does not provide adequate control of pain, in part, because it focuses on treating the patient only after the pain is well entrenched.
