Effects of recumbent isometric yoga on the orthostatic cardiovascular response of patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome
This study found that the patients who manifested POTS and performed recumbent isometric yoga for 12 weeks had a reduced increase in PR after standing up. This pilot study suggests that recumbent isometric yoga would be useful as an adjunctive nonpharmacological intervention for improving POTS in patients with ME/CFS. This finding should be confirmed in a larger number of cases.
