The overlap among functional somatic syndromes (FSS) is substantial, which is why various empirical attempts at an improved understanding of related symptoms have been undertaken. Network analyses are particularly valuable from a clinical point of view, since they focus on the extent to which symptoms expression is co-dependent. The aim of this study was to provide the first estimation of the network structure of symptoms in 17 FSS.
