Does electrical stimulation of the periventricular/periaqueductal gray areas reverse orthostatic hypotension in humans?
Electrical stimulation of specific brain regions may offer a novel therapeutic approach for orthostatic hypotension by modulating sympathetic outflow.
Green et al. (2006) studied this question.
