Ear nerve stimulation with slow breathing for POTS
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a relaxing technique that uses a small earpiece device to stimulate a nerve while you pace your breathing. It may help people with POTS by calming the nervous system and reducing symptoms like dizziness and fatigue.

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.
This study tests if a gentle electrical stimulation near the ear (called tragus stimulation) can help with POTS symptoms, like dizziness and rapid heartbeat when standing. It aims to see if this non-invasive method can improve your daily life.
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 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 looks at how gut hormones control blood flow after eating in people with POTS. It may help explain symptoms like dizziness and rapid heartbeat after meals.
This study measures how breathing patterns and heart rate/blood pressure change when you move from lying to standing in people with POTS. It may help researchers understand symptoms better and improve ways to manage them.
