Low dose naltrexone for POTS symptoms
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking a very low dose of naltrexone (a medication that may help calm the immune system and reduce symptoms) can improve symptoms in people with POTS. If it works, it could offer a new, well-tolerated treatment option for this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a formal diagnosis of POTS from a doctor.
- You can attend study visits in Calgary, Vancouver, or Hamilton, Canada.
- You are not pregnant, not planning to become pregnant, and not breastfeeding during the study.
- You are not currently taking low dose naltrexone or any opioid pain medications.
- You do not have a history of alcohol, opioid, or other substance use disorder.
- You are able to keep taking your other medications at the same doses during the study.

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 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 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 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 study tests whether a daily pill called mirabegron can help control the rapid heartbeat and other symptoms of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). If you join, you'll take the study drug or a placebo for a set time and track your symptoms.
This study tests a new treatment (called aVNT) for people with POTS, a condition that causes a rapid heart rate when standing up. It aims to see if this treatment can help reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
