Study Summary
This study will examine whether certain procedures that do not involve the use of medications can reduce symptoms of neurocardiogenic syncope (SIN-ku-pe), or a condition involving recurrent fainting. This condition is also known as vasovagal syncope or neurally mediated hypotension. Neurocardiogenic syncope is a disorder of the autonomic nervous system, which controls automatic body functions such as blood pressure, heart rate, and sweating. That system can be affected by medications, conditions of the mind or body, and by a person's surroundings. Researchers in this study wish to learn whether hypnosis, hand exercises, education, or diary keeping can affect the autonomic nervous system and improve symptoms of neurocardiogenic syncope. Patients age 18 or older who have neurocardiogenic syncope may be eligible for this study. Those who have a medical illness making it unsafe to participate, who cannot discontinue certain medications, or who are pregnant are not eligible. Patients will undergo a medical history and physical examination, complete a questionnaire, and experience Valsalva and tilt table tests. These tests will take about 5 hours during 1 to 2 days. The Valsalva test evaluates some of the reflexes of autonomic nervous system. Patients will lie flat on a padded table and have sensors placed on the body, to measure blood pressure, breathing rate, and other functions. They will blow into a sterile tube for 12 seconds while the body's responses are measured. The procedure may need to be repeated several times. During the test, an intravenous tube, guided by a needle, will be placed in the patient's arm. The tube will be used to collect samples of blood (less than 7 tablespoons) to measure chemicals such as adrenaline. For the tilt table test, a patient will lie on a padded, motorized table and have sensors placed on the body. Velcro straps will be placed around the patient's body to help hold him/her on the table. Then the table will tilt the patient from a
