The journey to accurate diagnosis is often prolonged due to unclear etiology of symptoms. This manuscript is a narrative review of the literature on illness uncertainty (IU) in hEDS, highlighting the unique facets of IU in this population, as compared to the broader chronic pain population (given symptom overlap between these two disease groups), that warrant additional investigation. Additionally, we considered the unique challenges associated with IU in the context of the developmental nuances of pediatric populations. Specifically, we aimed to (1) map the extant literature of the IU experience in chronic pain conditions broadly including the pediatric and adult research to identify key concepts related to IU and incorporate potential developmental considerations in IU; (2) delineate and describe the IU experience specifically in patients with hEDS, with the goal of identifying gaps in the literature based on aspects of presentation in hEDS that do and do not differ from the broader chronic pain population; and (3) elucidate the potential areas of adverse impact of IU in both general chronic pain populations, and those with hEDS specifically, to provide actionable areas for future research and clinical care of individuals with hEDS. Results of this review indicate that IU has been well-studied in chronic pain generally, but inadequately evaluated in hEDS specifically. Specific features of hEDS (complexity of the disorder, involvement of multiple bodily systems, contribution of organic pathology) may uniquely contribute to IU in this population. This review suggests that ambiguities surrounding the diagnosis of hEDS, symptom course, and treatment recommendations, along with misdiagnosis, perceived dismissal of symptoms, or attribution of symptoms to mental health concerns might increase risk for IU and related distress in patients.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Findings from the present review suggest that distinct features of hEDS yield a set of driving factors for IU that may be somewhat different than those faced by patients with chronic pain or other medical conditions. The development of a validated measure of IU to appropriately assess this construct in patients with hEDS is a research priority. In the clinical setting, providers should be attentive to the potentially aversive diagnostic and treatment experiences reported by patients and attempt to provide clear explanations based on the extant knowledge of hEDS, and implement best-practice recommendations for multidisciplinary treatment.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12969-023-00908-6","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,16]],"date-time":"2023-10-16T07:02:40Z","timestamp":1697439760000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["A narrative review of the literature on illness uncertainty in hypermobile ehlers-danlos syndrome: implications for research and clinical practice"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9765-3459","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Est\u00e9e C.H.","family":"Feldman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kendra J.","family":"Homan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sara E.","family":"Williams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tracy V.","family":"Ting","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kenneth R.","family":"Goldschneider","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8321-9723","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Susmita","family":"Kashikar-Zuck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,16]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"908_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"31","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1096-8628(19980428)77:1<31::AID-AJMG8>3.0.CO;2-O","volume":"77","author":"P Beighton","year":"1998","unstructured":"Beighton P, De Paepe A, Steinmann B, Tsipouras P, Wenstrup RJ.
