In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Compression Garments are a commonly prescribed treatment in Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). The effectiveness of a proof-of-concept compression garment has been demonstrated in an acute laboratory setting. It is not known if commercially available compression garments that participants wear in their every day lives are effective at improving heart rate and reducing symptoms in POTS. This trial will evaluate the use of commercially available waist-high and abdominal compression garments in adults diagnosed with POTS in a community setting.
