Kids with fainting episodes after arriving at the emergency room
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at children and teens (ages 6–18) who recently fainted but are now back to normal, using a survey. It aims to better understand fainting episodes that happen before the emergency visit and how to evaluate them safely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether teaching special standing/balance movements can reduce fainting episodes in children who have recurring vasovagal fainting or certain forms of POTS. It may help your child feel more stable when standing and improve symptoms, while researchers measure balance and “counterpressure” responses during the tests.
This study tests if a procedure called cardioneuroablation can help people who faint or feel like they're about to faint due to a slow heart rate. The treatment targets the nerves around the heart to improve heart rate control and exercise capacity.
This trial tests a procedure called cardioneuroablation to treat severe fainting (reflex syncope) that hasn't been helped by other treatments. The goal is to see if it reduces fainting without causing dangerous heart rhythm problems.
This registry tracks people who receive a heart procedure called cardioneuroablation to stop severe fainting spells. The procedure targets nerve signals that cause the heart to pause, and researchers want to learn how well it works in real-world patients.
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 looks at whether people who come to the hospital after a fainting spell can be safely watched for 24 hours inside the hospital, instead of being admitted for a longer stay. It may help doctors decide the best way to monitor low- and intermediate-risk fainting.
