Sponsor: Vanderbilt University Medical Center

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The automated inflatable abdominal binder is an investigational device for the treatment of orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure on standing) in patients with autonomic failure. The purpose of this study is to determine safety and effectiveness of the automated abdominal binder in improving orthostatic tolerance in these patients.

Official title: Randomized, Double-blind, Sham-controlled to Evaluate the Effects of an Automated Abdominal Binder in Improving Orthostatic Tolerance in Autonomic Failure Patients With Disabling Orthostatic Hypotension
