Abstract:
Morphine is a widely recognized analgesic used to mitigate pain, especially during intense medical procedures. Its primary function is to relieve patients from unbearable pain by interacting with the body’s central nervous system. Despite its effectiveness, cases where morphine does not alleviate pain, or produces an inadequate effect, present challenges in clinical settings. This study explores the application of morphine using a cybernetic automaton model, wherein pain response is viewed through the lens of classical conditioning. By simulating morphine administration in different contexts, the study aims to deepen the understanding of how preemptive and reactive morphine application alters pain perception.
