Previous breakthrough theory was The Gate Control theory of pain, put forward by Ronald Melzack (a Canadian psychologist) and Patrick David Wall (a British physician) in 1962, and again in 1965.
The gate control theory of pain, proposed by Patrick David Wall and Ronald Melzack, postulates that nociception (pain) is "gated" by non-nociception stimuli such as vibration.
By the late 1980s, Ronald Melzack had recognized that the peripheral neuroma account could not be correct.
