Treatment and Prognosis of Neurogenic Orthostatic Hypotension : A Prospective Randomized Study

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Orthostatic; Hypotension, Neurogenic
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02308124
Lead Sponsor
Seoul National University Hospital
Brief Summary

Compare the effect of treatment of midodrine and pyridostigmine in neurogenic orthostatic hypotension and investigate the quality of life of treatment of neurogenic orthostatic hypotension.

Detailed Description

In patients with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension, the appropriate treatment was identified by comparing the treatment effects and side effects for each treatment drug. In addition, by confirming the effect of orthostatic hypotension on lowering the quality of life, it is expected that the improvement of the quality of life will help.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Orthostatic BP Dropafter 3-month medical treatment

Change of orthostatic SBP and DBP drop after 3-month medical treatment compared to initial results.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Changes in Health-related Quality of Lifechanges at 3 months after treatment

changes in Short Form (36) Health Survey version 2 (SF-36v2) mental component summary scale (MCS)

SF-36v2 measures eight HRQOL domains (physical functioning, role limitation caused by physical problems, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role limitation caused by emotional problems, and mental health) summarized into two summary scales that are normalized to the population (mean=50, standard deviation=10): the physical component summary scale (PCS) and the mental component summary scale (MCS).20 Better HRQOL is reflected by higher SF-36v2 scores.

Change of the Depression Score (Beck Depression Inventory-II )after 3-month medical treatment.

Change of the depression score after 3-month medical treatment compared to initial results.

21 multiple-choice questions, each of which can be scored from 0 to 3. Higher score represent higher degree of depression.

Score Normal; 0-13, Mild depression; 14-19, Moderate depression; 20-28, Severe depression; 29-63

Short-form 36 Version 2changes at 3 months after treatment

changes in Short Form (36) Health Survey version 2 (SF-36v2) physical component summary scale (PCS) compared to the baseline

SF-36v2 measures eight HRQOL domains (physical functioning, role limitation caused by physical problems, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role limitation caused by emotional problems, and mental health) summarized into two summary scales that are normalized to the population (mean=50, standard deviation=10): the physical component summary scale (PCS) and the mental component summary scale (MCS).20 Better HRQOL is reflected by higher SF-36v2 scores.

Change of the Orthostatic Hypotension Associated Symptom Questionnaire (OH Questionnaire (OHQ)).after 3-month medical treatment.

Change of the OH associated symptom survey result after 3-month medical treatment compared to initial results.

OHQ questionnaire has two components: the OH daily activity scale (OHDAS), which contains 4 items measuring the impact of OH on daily activities, and the OH symptom assessment (OHSA), which contains 6 items measuring the symptoms of OH (dizziness/light headedness, vision disturbance, weakness, fatigue, trouble concentrating, and head/neck discomfort).This questionnaire reflects the severity of OH-related symptoms on a 10-point scale, with 0 indicating the absence of a symptom and 10 indicating maximal severity.

\*\* OHQ total score minimal 0 \~ maximal 100
