Q-Collar as a Potential Treatment for POTS, with Dr. Heather Edgell
In this podcast episode, Dr. Heather Edgell, an associate professor at York University, discusses her research on the Q-Collar as a novel treatment for Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). The Q-Collar, originally FDA-approved for other applications, applies gentle pressure to the neck and may improve symptoms by influencing cardiorespiratory and cerebrovascular functions. Dr. Edgell explains the physiological basis that suggests the Q-Collar could be effective for managing POTS, detailing its method of action and potential benefits for individuals with the condition.
