Smart diagnostic system for orthostatic hypotension
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new intelligent diagnostic system to help diagnose orthostatic hypotension (a drop in blood pressure when standing up) in people with Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, or diabetes. It uses a non-invasive ultrasound device (TCD) to monitor blood flow in the brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, or diabetes (if diabetic, you must be 50 or older).
- You have symptoms or have been told you might have orthostatic hypotension (blood pressure drops when you stand up).
- You have adequate bone windows in your temples for the ultrasound (TCD) test.
- You are willing and able to give informed consent.
- You do not have severe blockages in neck or brain arteries, recent stroke, serious heart rhythm problems, or other conditions that affect blood flow in your brain.

This study measures how your blood pressure affects thinking skills and how blood flows in the brain in people with Parkinson’s. It may help researchers understand what blood-pressure changes could mean for cognition in Parkinson’s.
This study uses MRI to understand how blood pressure is controlled in people with Parkinson's disease who have orthostatic hypotension (a drop in blood pressure when standing). It may help find better treatments for this common symptom.
This early (Phase 1) study tests whether midodrine and droxidopa can improve blood-flow pooling in the belly in people with nerve problems that affect blood pressure when standing. It’s looking at safety and how the body responds, which may help reduce dizziness or fainting for some participants.
This study checks how your body controls breathing and heart rate when you stand up, especially if you get dizzy from low blood pressure. It may help researchers understand what causes symptoms and how to improve testing for people with this condition.
This Phase 2 study tests whether the medicines droxidopa and pyridostigmine can improve symptoms of orthostatic hypotension, which is low blood pressure when you stand up. It is designed for people whose low blood pressure is caused by problems with the nerves that control blood pressure.
This trial looks at how blood pressure and heart rate change when standing up or exercising in healthy people and in older adults with high blood pressure. It aims to understand how the body's automatic (autonomic) nervous system controls these functions.
