Gut hormones and blood flow in POTS
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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 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 looks at how physical activity affects symptoms in people with POTS (a condition where heart rate rises when standing). If you have POTS, you may be asked to participate and help the researchers understand whether exercise changes how you feel.
This study looks at how a natural gut hormone called GIP affects blood pressure after a meal. It may help find new ways to treat blood pressure problems after eating.
