Au niveau des cornes postérieures de la mœlle, nous retrouvons le «portillon» proposé par Melzack et Wall en 1965.

Selon cette théorie, une stimulation légère comme l'utilisation du massage, de la vibration ou du TENS [neurostimulation électrique transcutanée] aura pour effet de produire une analgésie restreinte à la région stimulée. 3, record 9, French, - th%C3%A9orie%20du%20contr%C3%B4le%20par%20soupapes%20de%20la%20douleur
