Sleep Actigraphy in Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)
NCT00692471 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
We propose to use actigraphy (measured by activity watches) as a tool to quantify sleep disturbances in patients with orthostatic intolerance compared with healthy control subjects. In this pilot study, we will test the null hypothesis (Ho) that there are no differences in the sleep quality between patients with orthostatic intolerance and healthy control subjects.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT00692471
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT00692471 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 100 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Satish R. Raj, which has 6 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 3 conditions, with Postural Tachycardia Syndrome appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Actigraphy Watch (motion sensors) with light sensors - ActiWatch from Minimitter is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT00692471 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Tennessee. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
