Plasma tryptophan and musculoskeletal pain in non-articular rheumatism ("fibrositis syndrome").

Harvey Moldofsky1, Jerry J Warsh.   

Abstract

Plasma-free tryptophan is inversely related to the severity of subjective pain in 8 patients who fulfilled criteria for a variety of non-articular rheumatism, the "fibrositis syndrome". The observation is consistent with animal and human studies suggesting a relationship between reduced brain serotonin metabolism and pain reactivity.
