NCT ID NCT05295810
First seen May 07, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study looks at whether breathing a little extra carbon dioxide can raise blood pressure and improve blood flow to the brain in people with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (NOH), a condition where blood pressure drops sharply upon standing, causing dizziness or fainting. Researchers will test different levels of CO2 in 80 adults (including healthy volunteers) to see if this simple approach can ease symptoms. The goal is to find a new, non-drug way to manage NOH.
