Summary
This study tests a non-invasive device that stimulates a nerve in the ear to see if it can lower heart rate and reduce symptoms like light-headedness and fatigue in people with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). 18 participants with POTS will receive the stimulation while their heart rate and symptoms are measured during a tilt-table test. The goal is to improve how long they can stand without feeling sick.
