Modelling Pain Perception Using Fuzzy Cognitive Maps
The findings indicate that the FCM model provides a useful framework for representing interactions between pain and its influencing factors. The model was validated through expert consensus and scenario-based simulations. Future work will include empirical validation using standardized psychological instruments to compare FCM outcomes with real-world psychological profiles.
