Tilt table test could be key to stopping fainting spells

NCT ID NCT07459478

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether a tilt table test, which provokes fainting in a controlled setting, can help people with vasovagal syncope (common fainting) reduce future episodes. About 238 adults will be randomly assigned to receive biofeedback training either with or without the tilt table test. The goal is to see if the test leads to fewer fainting episodes and better quality of life.

Active substance

tilt table testing

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that tilt table testing helps people with fainting spells avoid future episodes when combined with biofeedback.

What could go wrong

This is a relatively small, early-stage trial. The tilt table test may not reduce fainting more than biofeedback alone, and results may not apply to all types of fainting.
