In patients with CFS / ME, neuroimmune, gastrointestinal, autonomic and cardiovascular alterations have been observed, among others. CFS / ME is characterized by disabling chronic fatigue, non-restorative sleep, severe intolerance to physical exercise, neurocognitive dysfunction with changes in

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a complex disorder that may be triggered by infection or other stressors (e.g., emotional or physical trauma, immune activation, chemical exposures). Its hallmark is a reduced capacity for physical and mental activity manifest as
Interruption of sympathetic cardiovascular autonomic regulation following spinal cord injury (SCI) is associated with significantly reduced plasma norepinephrine (NE) levels, hypotension and orthostatic hypotension (OH), particularly in individuals with high cord lesions. Although the incidence of
Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a disabling condition that mostly affects young women in their reproductive age. It is characterized by chronic (>6 months) orthostatic intolerance symptoms (palpitation, lightheadedness, blurred vision and mental clouding) triggered by assuming an upright
Study Objectives and Hypotheses
Primary Objective
The primary objectives of this study are to understand the in vivo effects of dehydration on:
1. Sympathetic neural control of cardiovascular function (MSNA), and
2. Neuromuscular function (CAC) via the IT Test
The primary hypotheses of this study
We and others have shown that a majority of younger patients with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) have orthostatic intolerance (OI), the inability to tolerate orthostatic stress such as prolonged standing. OI in ME/CFS comprises postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) in
Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is one of the most frequent forms of chronic orthostatic intolerance and affects an estimated 500,000 people in the United States alone. This disorder is a common source of disability in young adults, with a strong predilection for premenopausal women. POTS is
The pathophysiological basis of postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is not well elucidated. The most widely recognized primary cause of POTS is a "restricted" or "selective" peripheral neuropathy - neuropathic POTS. Several lines of evidence point to a restricted peripheral neuropathy, specifically
Chronic pain is common. Up to 10% of the Population has been estimated to suffer from chronic pain and up to 5% of the female population has been estimated to suffer from widespread, chronic pain and tenderness, thus fulfilling American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria for classification of
Chronic orthostatic intolerance due to the postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) severely impairs daily life in over a million Americans, mostly young women. POTS is defined by symptoms of orthostatic intolerance associated with excessive upright heart rate. While there is general agreement that
This protocol describes a study to investigate the relationship between susceptibility to hypnosis and regulation of the autonomic nervous system. Several studies have demonstrated that individuals with particular conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), posttraumatic stress disorder
