A Novel Device for the Treatment of Postural Hypotension - a Signal of Effectiveness Study.
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to test a novel medical device (ISO-101) in patients diagnosied with orthostatic hypotension. The main question[s] it aims to answer are:
-
to determine whether the ISO-101 device demonstrates a signal of efficacy in people with OH and whether it is worthy of further clinical evaluation.
-
Assess the safety and performance of the ISO-101 device in patients with orthostatic hypotension.
Participants will use the device under controlled conditions and have the following parameters measured before and after standing up:
-
blood pressure
-
markers of peripheal vascular resistence
-
sympathetic nervous system activity measure before and after standing up

Detailed Description
This is a proof of principle study aimed at evaluating if there is a signal of efficacy from use of the ISO-101 device in people with orthostatic hypotension. The study is a single centre, unblinded, pre-post study. All participants will act as their own control, and all will receive the intervention.The primary objective is to determine whether the ISO-101 device demonstrates a signal of efficacy in people with OH and whether it is worthy of further clinical evaluation.
