Conditions

Summary

We examine patients with different autonomic neuropathies and Ehlers Danlos syndromes compared to healthy controls at three different points over time (baseline, after 3 months and after 1.5 years) to gain knowledge about the course of this disease and understand its pathophysiology, with a focus on Small Fiber neuropathy. Moreover we will validate the german version of the Malmö POTS Score and establish an easy diagnostic scheme for patients in outpatient care.
