Abstract
Levels of substance P were determined in the cerebrospinal fluid (CST) in 15 patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). All values were w ithin normal range. This is in contrast to fibromyalgia (FM). The majo rity of patients with FM have increased substance P values in the CSF. The results support the notion that FM and CFS are different disorder s in spite of overlapping symptomatology. (C) 1998 international Assoc iation for the Study of Pain.
