Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a chronic disorder characterized by symptoms of orthostatic intolerance such as fatigue, lightheadedness, dizziness, palpitations, dyspnea, chest discomfort and remarkable tachycardia upon standing. Non-invasive transdermal vagal stimulators have been applied for the treatment of epilepsy, anxiety, depression, headache, and chronic pain syndromes. Anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating effects after transdermal vagal stimulation raised interest for applications in other diseases. Patients with sympathetic overactivity, reduced cardiac vagal drive and presence of systemic inflammation like POTS may benefit from tVNS. This article will address crucial methodological aspects of tVNS and provide preliminary results of its acute and chronic use in POTS, with regards to its potential effectiveness on autonomic symptoms reduction and heart rate modulation.
体位性心动过速综合征(POTS)是一种慢性疾病,其特征是直立不耐受症状,如疲劳、头晕、眩晕、心悸、呼吸困难、胸部不适和明显的站立时心动过速。非侵入性经皮迷走神经刺激器已被应用于治疗癫痫、焦虑、抑郁、头痛和慢性疼痛综合征。经皮迷走神经刺激后的抗炎和免疫调节作用引起了人们对其在其他疾病中的应用的兴趣。交感神经活性过高、心脏迷走神经驱动降低以及存在全身性炎症的患者,如 POTS,可能受益于 tVNS。本文将介绍 tVNS 的关键方法学方面,并提供其在 POTS 中的急性和慢性应用的初步结果,以及其对自主症状减轻和心率调节的潜在效果。
