Droxidopa plus pyridostigmine for low blood pressure on standing
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This Phase 2 study tests whether the medicines droxidopa and pyridostigmine can improve symptoms of orthostatic hypotension, which is low blood pressure when you stand up. It is designed for people whose low blood pressure is caused by problems with the nerves that control blood pressure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have orthostatic hypotension, meaning your top blood pressure drops by at least 30 points when standing
- Testing shows your low blood pressure is “neurogenic,” caused by nerve/autonomic dysfunction rather than other causes
- You are not pregnant and not breastfeeding
- You do not have other major conditions that affect the brain/nerves or the autonomic testing (for example, recent heart attack, severe anemia, certain cancers, or thyroid problems)
- You can do the study’s nerve/autonomic testing and your mobility/activity won’t be severely limited by other illnesses

This early (Phase 1) study tests whether midodrine and droxidopa can improve blood-flow pooling in the belly in people with nerve problems that affect blood pressure when standing. It’s looking at safety and how the body responds, which may help reduce dizziness or fainting for some participants.
This trial tests a new intelligent diagnostic system to help diagnose orthostatic hypotension (a drop in blood pressure when standing up) in people with Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, or diabetes. It uses a non-invasive ultrasound device (TCD) to monitor blood flow in the brain.
This study uses MRI to understand how blood pressure is controlled in people with Parkinson's disease who have orthostatic hypotension (a drop in blood pressure when standing). It may help find better treatments for this common symptom.
This trial looks at how blood pressure and heart rate change when standing up or exercising in healthy people and in older adults with high blood pressure. It aims to understand how the body's automatic (autonomic) nervous system controls these functions.
This study checks how your body controls breathing and heart rate when you stand up, especially if you get dizzy from low blood pressure. It may help researchers understand what causes symptoms and how to improve testing for people with this condition.
This study measures how your blood pressure affects thinking skills and how blood flows in the brain in people with Parkinson’s. It may help researchers understand what blood-pressure changes could mean for cognition in Parkinson’s.
