Low-dose naltrexone for POTS symptoms
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- A doctor has diagnosed you with POTS
- You can travel to the research lab in Calgary, Vancouver, or Hamilton for visits
- You are not pregnant and will not try to become pregnant during the study
- You can keep taking your current other medications at the same doses during the study
- You are not taking low-dose naltrexone already
- You do not use opioid medicines and will have a negative urine opioid test

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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.
This trial tests two medications—guanfacine and cromolyn sodium—to see if they can help people with POTS who have symptoms that started after a specific trigger. It might help if you have not found relief from other treatments.
This trial tests a new medication (mirabegron) to help people with POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome)—a condition where your heart races and you feel dizzy when standing up. The drug works by activating a specific nerve pathway to help control your heart rate and blood pressure.
