Mild Intermittent Hypoxia: A Prophylactic for Autonomic Dysfunction in Individuals With Spinal Cord Injuries
The prevalence of autonomic dysfunction and sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is increased in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). The loss of autonomic control results in autonomic dysreflexia (AD) and orthostatic hypotension (OH) which explains the increase in cardiovascular related mortality in these Veterans. There is no effective prophylaxis for …
Hemodynamic Mechanisms of Abdominal Compression in the Treatment of Orthostatic Hypotension in Autonomic Failure
Compression garments have been shown to be effective in the treatment of orthostatic hypotension in autonomic failure patients. The purpose of this study is to determine the hemodynamic mechanisms by which abdominal compression (up to 40 mm Hg) improve the standing blood pressure and orthostatic tolerance in these patients, and …
Effect of Midodrine vs Abdominal Compression on Cardiovascular Risk Markers in Autonomic Failure Patients
The purpose of this study is to learn more about the effects of abdominal compression and the medication midodrine, two interventions used for the treatment of orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure on standing), on hemodynamic markers of cardiovascular risk. The study will be conducted at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center …
Effect of Neuro20 Functional Electrical Stimulation Suit on Autonomic Function, Muscle Performance, and Gait
This research aims to understand the effect of the Neuro20 Functional Electrical Stimulation Suit on autonomic nervous system function, muscle performance, and gait after amputation or neurologic injury.
Balance, Autonomic Response, and Sensory Modulation to Dosage of Mechanical Vagal Stimulation in Healthy Adults
The vagus nerve (VN) plays a crucial role in regulating vital functions (heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and immune response) and maintaining communication between internal organs and the brain. Recent studies have highlighted the therapeutic potential of VN stimulation (VNS) in treating various conditions such as drug-resistant epilepsy, postural control …
Assessment of Remote Approaches for Identification of Autonomic Dysfunction Among Survivors of Leukemia and Lymphoma
This study seeks to determine if diagnosing cardiac autonomic dysfunction (AD) can be done remotely with the same accuracy as in-person testing. If so, the identification of AD could happen sooner, facilitating remote studies of the condition and potentially reducing the risk of illness. Childhood cancer survivors, particularly survivors of …
POTS-FLOW: Interplay Between Gut Hormones and Autonomic Postprandial Blood Flow Regulation in Patients With POTS
This study will describe the interplay between the gut hormones GIP and CCK and their regulation of blood flow to the large vessels in patients with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and GIP, CCK and GLP-1 in healthy. This is addressed by hormone infusions during MR-scans of the abdomen and …
Use of Accelerometer for Quantification of Neurogenic Orthostatic Hypotension Symptoms
The objective of this study is to find a more objective and accurate way to assess the efficacy of the treatment for neurogenic orthostatic hypotension. For this purpose, the investigators will use an activity monitor to determine the amount of time patients spend in the upright position (standing and walking; …
Metabolic Flexibility and Autonomic Control After Muscle Power vs Metabolic Power Training in Postmenopausal Oncological Women: the POWER Health Study
POWER Health is a randomized clinical trial with a two-arm parallel design whose objectives are 1) to study metabolic flexibility and autonomic function (both capacities that describe cardiovascular health) in a sample of postmenopausal oncological women vs postmenopausal untreated controls (CT); and 2) to analyze the impact of two different …
Effect of Vitamin D3 Supplementation on Cardiac Autonomic Nerve Function in Male Epileptic Patients With Hypovitaminosis D
The goal of this clinical trial is to see the effect of vitamin D3 supplementation on cardiac autonomic nerve function in male epileptic patients with hypovitaminosis D that weather vitamin D improves heart rate variability or not. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does vitamin D improves cardiac …
