Tragus nerve stimulation for POTS
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a non-invasive device that stimulates a nerve near your ear (called the tragus) to see if it can help manage POTS symptoms. It may be an option for people whose POTS has lasted more than 6 months and who do not have other serious health conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a new medication (mirabegron) to help people with POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome)—a condition where your heart races and you feel dizzy when standing up. The drug works by activating a specific nerve pathway to help control your heart rate and blood pressure.
This pilot study tests a treatment called aVNT for people with POTS. It aims to see if this treatment can help with symptoms like rapid heartbeat when standing up.
This trial tests a gentle, non-invasive treatment for Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), a condition that causes a rapid heart rate when standing. It combines mild ear nerve stimulation with slow, paced breathing to see if it helps manage symptoms like dizziness and fatigue.
This trial tests two medications—guanfacine and cromolyn sodium—to see if they can help people with POTS who have symptoms that started after a specific trigger. It might help if you have not found relief from other treatments.
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 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.
