Breathing test for people with low blood pressure on standing
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This proof-of-concept pilot study tests whether a controlled breathing test that re-breathes carbon dioxide can improve symptoms or body responses in people with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (a drop in blood pressure when standing). It may help researchers understand how the nervous system involved in blood pressure control works.
This trial tests whether breathing in small amounts of carbon dioxide can help people with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (a condition that causes blood pressure to drop when standing). The goal is to see if this simple treatment can improve symptoms and quality of life.
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 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 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.
