Summary

The purpose of the present study is to determine whether the use of an abdominal binder is effective in the non-pharmacological management of orthostatic hypotension in patients suffering from Parkinson's disease

Detailed description

In the present single blinded cross-over trial we investigated the effects of an elastic abdominal binder on blood pressure changes (systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure) after 3 minutes of head-up tilt test in patients with Parkinson's disease and orthostatic hypotension. Secondarily, we investigated the effects of an elastic abdominal binder on symptoms of orthostatic hypotension in daily living in a 4-weeks open-label follow-up.
