Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a condition that causes increased heart rate when moving from sitting to standing, leading to symptoms like dizziness and fatigue. It affects women most often and can be triggered by various health events. Researchers found that stimulating the vagus nerve using tVNS can improve POTS symptoms by reducing antibodies attacking nerve cells and signs of inflammation. This therapy helped patients maintain a stable heart rhythm and reduce symptoms of low blood pressure or dizziness. The study suggests that noninvasive tVNS can be a valuable tool for managing POTS symptoms, offering hope for effective treatment.
