Homovanillic Acid: A 3-O-methyl ETHER of (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)acetic acid.
homovanillate : A hydroxy monocarboxylic acid anion which is obtained by deprotonation of the carboxy group of homovanillic acid.
homovanillic acid : A monocarboxylic acid that is the 3-O-methyl ether of (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)acetic acid. It is a catecholamine metabolite.

Back Pain: Acute or chronic pain located in the posterior regions of the THORAX; LUMBOSACRAL REGION; or the adjacent regions.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"We have investigated the possible associations between the demographic, clinical and psychological characteristics of 80 patients with low back pain and the CSF levels of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), homovanillic acid (HVA) and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG), the principal central nervous system metabolites of serotonin, dopamine and noradrenaline, and of tryptophan, the amino acid precursor of serotonin."3.67Neurotransmission and the experience of low back pain; no association between CSF monoamine metabolites and pain.
