Prevalence of Central Sensitization in Postural Tachycardia Syndrome

What is the prevalence of central sensitization syndrome in postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS)?This case-control study of 305 patients found a high prevalence (86.5%) of central sensitization syndrome in individuals with POTS.These findings suggest that co-occurring central sensitization syndrome may exacerbate the disease burden in POTS; enhancing knowledge of this comorbidity could lead to more precise and comprehensive diagnostics and treatment strategies.
