Electrical stimulation, or e-stim, works through an idea known as gate control theory. In layman's terms, in order for pain to be felt, the stimulus must travel through neurons into the brain. On the way to the brain, there are gates that the stimuli must travel through. These gates can be opened or closed, increasing or inhibiting the effect of the stimuli. E-stim works to flood the gates with its own stimulus (the tingling sensation it gives) that prevents pain information from reaching the brain. The result is a painkiller effect that can last for hours even after the e-stim unit has shut off.
