This commentary is intended to find possible explanations for the low impact of computational\nmodeling on pain research. We discuss the main strategies that have been\nused in building computational models for the study of pain. The analysis suggests\nthat traditional models lack biological plausibility at some levels, they do not provide\nclinically relevant results, and they cannot capture the stochastic character of neural\ndynamics. On this basis, we provide some suggestions that may be useful in building\ncomputational models of pain with a wider range of applications.
