What is the definition of gate control theory of pain?

It's the idea in psychology (I'm assuming the context) where you relieve the pain in one area by directing it to another.


For example, if you get hit in the stomach by a ball, you pinch yourself hard so that instead of feeling the pain in the stomach, you are feeling the pain from the pinch then.
