Study of nerve and connective-tissue symptoms in EDS and autonomic issues
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study collects information about how the body’s automatic nerves (autonomic nerves) affect symptoms like fast heart rate on standing, fatigue, and related conditions in people with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. It also enrolls healthy volunteers to compare results, which may help doctors understand these conditions better and improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You can do the study in a German-speaking setting and speak German
- You have one of these: autonomic neuropathy, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), or a type of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hypermobile or classical)
- You have symptoms/diagnoses such as chronic fatigue syndrome, mast cell activation syndrome, and/or symptoms after COVID (PostCOVID)
- You will be seen and evaluated at the study’s outpatient clinic for diagnosis and testing, or you are joining as a healthy control

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies whether an autoimmune (immune system–related) process is involved in postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS), a condition where your heart rate rises when you stand. The study may help researchers understand what causes POTS and how it could be treated or monitored.
This study tests whether stimulating a nerve in the ear (called auricular vagal nerve stimulation) can improve upper gut symptoms in teens who may have hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) or hypermobile spectrum disorder (HSD). It also checks whether this treatment helps nerves that control the body (autonomic nervous system) and how well the gut moves.
This study looks at whether the immune system (autoimmune) plays a role in conditions like Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (PoTS) and Fibromyalgia (FMS). It compares people with these conditions to healthy volunteers. The goal is to understand the causes and find better treatments.
This study tests whether a personalized nerve stimulation treatment can help teens with cyclic vomiting syndrome or functional dyspepsia who also have symptoms of autonomic dysfunction, like dizziness, fatigue, or heart palpitations when standing.
This study looks at how bodies with vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS) process nutrients and energy differently. By comparing people with vEDS to healthy volunteers, researchers hope to find new ways to manage the condition better.
This study collects information from people who may have a nerve or muscle problem or a nerve-degenerating illness, based on the usual care they already receive. It may help researchers understand symptoms and test results in real-world patients.
