Finerenone Treatment for Diabetic Cardiovascular Autonomic Neuropathy: the FibroCAN Study
Diabetic neuropathy is a serious and common complication of diabetes that currently has no cure. One form of this condition is cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN), which affects about 20% of people with diabetes-an estimated 100 million people worldwide. CAN is a significant risk factor for death and health problems like …
Association Between Autonomic Dysfunction and Choroidal Vascularity Index in Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is frequently accompanied by autonomic nervous system dysfunction, often characterized by sympathetic predominance. Alterations in ocular microcirculation have been reported in the presence of autonomic dysfunction, including potential reductions in choroidal vascular parameters. This observational study aims to examine the association between autonomic symptom burden and the choroidal vascularity …
Autonomic Modulation Training for Police Exposed to Post-Traumatic Stress Injuries
Police officers are exposed to hazardous, disturbing events that impose stress and long-term trauma. Upwards of 15-26% of public safety personnel (PSP) report one or more mental health symptoms. Accumulated stress and posttraumatic stress injuries (PTSI) result in chronic physical and mental health disorders including anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and …
Cardiovascular Autonomic and Immune Mechanism of Post COVID-19 Tachycardia Syndrome
The term post-acute COVID-19 syndrome or Long COVID is a disabling syndrome that persists beyond the 3-month convalescence period after COVID-19 infections. This syndrome affects mostly women (~80%), present with chronic tachycardia and Orthostatic intolerance symptoms without any identifiable cause. In addition, non-specific symptoms such as fatigue, headache, and "brain …
The Impact of Expandable Cryoballoon on Autonomic Control of the Heart
Approximately 40% of patients following cryoballoon ablation show signs of parasympathetic denervation. The presence of such effect is related to better outcomes in terms of clinical efficacy (freedom from atrial fibrillation). It could be hypothesized that larger sized balloon (POLARxFIT system) because of more antral position within the left atrium …
Effects of Midodrine and Droxidopa on Splanchnic Capacitance in Autonomic Failure
The purpose of this study is to learn more about the effects of midodrine and droxidopa, two medications used for the treatment of orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure on standing), on the veins of the abdomen of patients with autonomic failure. The study will be conducted at Vanderbilt University Medical …
Motor & Autonomic Concomitant Health Improvements With Neuromodulation & Exercise Training: An SCI RCT
Spinal cord injury (SCI) disrupts many aspects of life, including the loss of volitional movement and involuntary control of bodily functions; both crucial functional recovery priorities for this population. Mobility impairments and secondary complications limit an individual's ability to exercise, a behavior known to have wide-ranging functional and health benefits. …
Overnight Trials With Heat Stress in Autonomic Failure Patients With Supine Hypertension
Patients with autonomic failure are characterized by disabling orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure on standing), and at least half of them also have high blood pressure while lying down (supine hypertension). Exposure to heat, such as in hot environments, often worsens their orthostatic hypotension. The causes of this are not …
Spinal Cord Stimulation for Autonomic Recovery in Inpatient Rehabilitation After Acute SCI
This study is a randomized, single-blind, two-arm sham-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) over the lower thoracic and upper lumbar spinal cord segments for cardiovascular function in adults (21-65 years old) with cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord injury (SCI) (≥T6) …
Longitudinal Autonomic Characterization as a Predictor for Secondary Medical Complications Post-SCI
The purpose of this research is to learn about how your body is able to balance changes in blood pressure, how that changes over time, and how these changes impact your risk of developing medical problems.
