Scientists probe mysterious link between gut veins and blood pressure

NCT ID NCT02726711

Summary

This study aims to understand how blood flow in abdominal veins contributes to blood pressure problems in people with Multiple System Atrophy, a rare nervous system disorder. Researchers will study about 16 participants with both low blood pressure when standing and high blood pressure when lying down. They will temporarily block certain nerve signals with medication to see how this affects blood vessel behavior.
