Breathing CO2 may stop fainting spells in nerve disorder
NCT ID NCT05295810
First seen May 07, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether breathing small amounts of carbon dioxide can raise blood pressure and improve blood flow to the brain in people with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (NOH), a condition where the nervous system fails to keep blood pressure up when standing. Researchers will compare the effects of different carbon dioxide levels in 80 participants, including those with NOH and healthy volunteers. The goal is to see if a simple breathing device could become a new therapy for preventing dizziness and fainting.
