Study: Comparing people with POTS, concussion to those without

Do you have a history of concussion or postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS)—or have symptoms consistent with POTS while standing?

You may be eligible if:

  • You are between the ages of 18 and 65
  • You have POTS
  • You have symptoms while standing that are consistent with POTS: lightheadedness, fatigue, rapid heartbeat, exercise intolerance

Study involvement includes two visits for approximately three hours total.

  • One visit to the CU Boulder campus to undergo postural change tolerance tests while having your heart function (e.g., heart rate, blood pressure) monitored with a noninvasive device on your hand
  • One visit to University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus to undergo brain MR imaging
