Compression garments for POTS symptoms at home
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether wearing waist-high compression garments in everyday life can reduce symptoms for people with POTS. You’ll take part over a 4-day period and compare different days with a washout period in between.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a doctor’s diagnosis of POTS (a condition where your heart rate rises when you stand).
- You live in Canada.
- You already own waist-high compression garments with a pressure rating (medical grade or tights with listed mmHg).
- You can join the full 4-day study schedule (two 2-day parts with a 5-day break between).
- You can tolerate wearing the compression garment for the study’s full time.

This study looks at whether adding salt helps improve POTS symptoms, especially the fast heart rate that happens when you stand. You’d be screened carefully to make sure your symptoms fit POTS and that other causes of fast heart rate are unlikely.
This study looks at how the body controls heart rate and blood flow in people with POTS (a condition that causes dizziness and a fast heart rate upon standing). It helps researchers understand POTS better by comparing patients with healthy volunteers.
This study tests whether a low dose of naltrexone can reduce symptoms in people with POTS, a condition where your heart rate rises too much when you stand. You may be asked to stay on your usual medications and attend study visits at specific Canadian cities.
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 measures how breathing patterns and heart rate/blood pressure change when you move from lying to standing in people with POTS. It may help researchers understand symptoms better and improve ways to manage them.
This trial studies people with POTS (a condition where heart rate rises when you stand) and compares them with people without POTS. It tests body “adrenergic” (stress-chemistry) signals and how the body handles posture, which may help researchers find better ways to manage POTS.
