Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

OBJECTIVES: I. Study further the safety and efficacy of the alpha-receptor agonist midodrine in patients with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension.

II. Assess the quality of life in these patients with this treatment regimen.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This is a partially randomized, multicenter study. Patients receive oral midodrine three times a day during weeks 1 and 3-5, then either oral midodrine or placebo for weeks 6-8.

Quality of life is assessed at weeks 3, 6, and 8.
