hydroxyindoleacetic acid and Somatoform Disorders

hydroxyindoleacetic acid has been researched along with Somatoform Disorders in 3 studies

(5-hydroxyindol-3-yl)acetic acid : A member of the class of indole-3-acetic acids that is indole-3-acetic acid substituted by a hydroxy group at C-5.

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)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"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)."3.675-HIAA and HVA in CSF in patients with idiopathic pain disorders. ( Almay, BG; Häggendal, J; Oreland, L; von Knorring, L, 1987)
"Patients with chronic fatigue syndrome showed a significant reduction in basal plasma levels of MHPG and a significant increase in basal plasma levels of 5-HIAA."1.28Plasma and cerebrospinal fluid monoamine metabolism in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome: preliminary findings. ( Dale, JK; Demitrack, MA; Gold, PW; Kling, MA; Krahn, DD; Straus, SE, 1992)
