Although a wide variety of medical treatments for @entity907 have been proposed, therapy has largely been emperic based on the mechanisms commonly believed to lead to neurocardiogenic fainting. To determine the utility and efficacy of drug therapy and an orthostatic self-training program in the prevention of tilt-induced @entity907 , we investigated 43 consecutive @entity1 who had shown @entity1163 and were induced by head-up tilt test reproducibly, with either traditional medical treatments or orthostatic self-training at home. The initial 19 of 43 @entity1 were treated with either oral @entity1169 or @entity7306 therapies. The remaining 24 @entity1 were treated with an orthostatic self-training program alone. Effects of these therapies on head-up tilt test were reevaluated in all @entity1 . @entity1169 prevented @entity1163 in only six (32%) and @entity7306 in five (26%) of the 19 @entity1 . There was no significant difference in the effectiveness between them. @entity1163 was prevented in nine (47%) @entity1 with either @entity1169 or @entity7306 therapy alone, while in the remaining 10 @entity1 it was not. On the other hand, orthostatic self-training program prevented @entity1163 in 22 (92%) of 24 @entity1 . We concluded that orthostatic self-training program is far more effective than traditional drug therapies. Orthostatic self-training is an effective, safe and well accepted therapy in the prevention of tilt-induced @entity907 .
