Immune system study for PoTS and fibromyalgia symptoms
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how the immune system might play a role in symptoms like dizziness (PoTS) and widespread pain (fibromyalgia). By comparing people with these conditions to healthy volunteers, they hope to find better ways to understand and treat these symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests simple body movements (like squeezing your legs or squatting) to see if they help control POTS symptoms. It may offer a non-drug way to manage dizziness and fast heart rate when standing.
This early-stage trial tests two medicines (guanfacine and cromolyn sodium) to see if they help with POTS symptoms like dizziness and rapid heartbeat. It's looking for people whose POTS started recently after a trigger and who may have signs of allergic-type reactions.
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 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 why some people develop POTS (a condition that causes a fast heart rate and dizziness when standing) and if it's linked to how the brain and vagus nerve work together. It also includes people recovering from a serious infection and healthy volunteers for comparison.
This study looks at how fibromyalgia affects your sensitivity to pain and your sense of balance. It may help find better ways to treat these symptoms.
