We consider a nonlinear system of coupled ordinary differential equations (representing the excitatory, inhibitory, and T-cell potentials) based on the Gate Control Theory of Pain, initially proposed by R. Melzack and P.D. Wall in 1965, and later mathematically modeled by N.F. Britton and S.M. Skevington in 1988.
