Counterpressure maneuvers and daily orthostatic tilt training are the only proven effective treatments for neurocardiogenic syncope, highlighting the need for randomized studies.
Neurocardiogenic syncope is a common disorder. It is diagnosed by obtaining a detailed history and performing a head‐up tilt test, with or without drug provocation. Several studies have been performed pertaining to its management. However, no treatment, whether pharmacological or non‐pharmacological, except for counterpressure maneuvers and daily orthostatic tilt training, has been proven effective. Randomized studies of therapies for neurocardiogenic syncope are needed.

Abe et al. (2007) conducted a review in Neurocardiogenic syncope. Counterpressure maneuvers and daily orthostatic tilt training was evaluated. Counterpressure maneuvers and daily orthostatic tilt training are the only treatments currently proven effective for the management of neurocardiogenic syncope.
