homovanillic acid has been researched along with Somatoform Disorders in 2 studies
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.
Somatoform Disorders: Disorders having the presence of physical symptoms that suggest a general medical condition but that are not fully explained by another medical condition, by the direct effects of a substance, or by another mental disorder. The MEDICALLY UNEXPLAINED SYMPTOMS must cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other areas of functioning. In contrast to FACTITIOUS DISORDERS and MALINGERING, the physical symptoms are not under voluntary control. (APA, DSM-V)

| "Patients with idiopathic pain syndromes were compared with healthy volunteers and with patients suffering from chronic pain syndromes of neurogenic origin, with respect to the concentrations of the metabolites 5-hydroxy-indole-acetic acid (5-HIAA) and homovanillic acid (HVA) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)." | 3.67 | 5-HIAA and HVA in CSF in patients with idiopathic pain disorders.
