NCT ID NCT05295810
First seen May 07, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study looks at whether breathing air with a little extra carbon dioxide can raise blood pressure and improve blood flow to the brain in people with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (NOH). NOH causes a big drop in blood pressure when standing, leading to light-headedness, nausea, and fainting. Researchers will test different levels of carbon dioxide in 80 adults (patients and healthy volunteers) to see if this simple approach can become a new therapy.
