Clinical Studies

The purpose of this study is to gather objective data and patient samples (blood and stool) from a large number of adolescents with autonomic dysfunction for use in subsequent hypothesis-driven research.
Resting State Connectivity in Adolescents with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome and Chronic Pain Rochester, Minn.
The purposes of this study are to compare the functional connectivity in adolescent patients with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) both with and without chronic pain, to those with chronic pain alone, to that of healthy controls; to evaluate whether there is a change in functional connectivity following participation in an intensive rehabilitation-oriented program previously demonstrated to have excellent outcomes with regard to functional recovery and symptom control; and to correlate outcomes using standardized symptom and function rating scales to imaging findings.

Impact of health coaching on clinical and functional outcomes of post COVID syndrome in adolescents: A pilot study (CoRe PoCoS) Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate for differences in functional outcomes for adolescent patients with PCS when treated with health coaching, compared to standard follow up after consultative visit and evaluation and education about PCS, and to evaluate for differences in clinical outcomes for adolescent patients with PCS treated with health coaching after consultative visit and medical evaluation, and those with consultative visit and evaluation only.
