Summary

This study tested a device that gently stimulates a nerve in the neck (called nVNS) to see if it can reduce symptoms like dizziness and fatigue in teenagers with POTS, a condition that causes a rapid heart rate upon standing. Forty teens with newly diagnosed POTS took part at Mayo Clinic. Researchers measured changes in symptom scores, daily function, and heart rate over 8 weeks.
