Iron for POTS: A study on iron deficiency and heart rate
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests if giving iron to people with POTS who have low iron stores can improve symptoms. It's for those with POTS and a ferritin level below 50.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 Phase 2 study looks at how blood pools in the belly veins when you stand or eat, in people with POTS (postural tachycardia syndrome). The goal is to understand what’s driving symptoms like feeling nearly faint and whether this helps guide better care.
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 trial studies people with POTS (a condition where heart rate rises when you stand) and compares them with people without POTS. It tests body “adrenergic” (stress-chemistry) signals and how the body handles posture, which may help researchers find better ways to manage POTS.
This study looks at whether adding salt helps improve POTS symptoms, especially the fast heart rate that happens when you stand. You’d be screened carefully to make sure your symptoms fit POTS and that other causes of fast heart rate are unlikely.
