New blood pressure monitor could replace needles in autonomic testing
NCT ID NCT05977335
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test a new device that measures blood pressure and heart function continuously without needles. It will be used during standard autonomic function tests (like the Valsalva maneuver and tilt table) in 75 patients with orthostatic intolerance. The goal is to see if the device gives accurate readings compared to current methods.

- Active substance
- Task Force® CORE and Task Force® CARDIO devices
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a more comfortable way to monitor blood pressure and heart function during autonomic tests, replacing invasive methods.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage, small study (75 patients) focused on device accuracy, not treatment. It may not show clear benefits over existing methods.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patients (patients aged ≥ 18 years) * Patients giving written informed consent to participate in the study. * Patients with intact perfusion of both hands evidenced by a positive Allen's test. * Patients with orthostatic intolerance will be included Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with vascular implants at the sites of non-invasive BP measurement (fingers or upper arms) * Very low perfusion in the periphery * Arterial vascular diseases (arteriosclerosis, Raynaud's syndrome, endarteritis obliterans, collagenosis, severely advanced vascular diseases (PAOD)) * Patients with significant edema in the fingers * Patients with atrial fibrillation * Patients with valvular disease of grade 2 or above * Patients with ventricular assist devices * Subjects not passing the Allen's test for both hands. * Patients with a large lateral difference in BP (\> 15 mmHg for systolic BP and/or \>10 mmHg for diastolic BP) or with same arm measurement differences \> 10 mmHg in systolic or diastolic BP during assessment of lateral differences
