چکیده

Several theoretical frameworks have been proposed to explain the physiological basis of pain, although none yet completely accounts for all aspects of pain perception. Here, we provide a historical overview of the major contributions, ideas, and competing theories of pain from ancient civilizations to Melzack and Wall's Gate Control Theory of Pain.

Artificial neural networks: applications in pain physiology

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are intelligent systems that have successfully been used for prediction in different medical fields. In this study, the capability of ANN in predicting body behavior in pain-producing situations is evaluated. A three-layer back-propagation ANN is designed using MATLAB software. The inputs include the magnitude of stimulation in pain fibers, touch fibers and cen...
