Q-Collar as a Potential Treatment for POTS, with Dr. Heather Edgell

In this podcast episode, Dr. Heather Edgell, an associate professor of kinesiology at York University, discusses her research on the potential use of the FDA-approved Q-collar as a treatment for Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). The Q-collar, which applies gentle pressure to the neck, has shown promise in other applications and is being investigated for its effects on cardiorespiratory and cerebrovascular function in POTS patients. The discussion includes insights into the physiological mechanisms that might explain why the device could be an effective treatment option for those suffering from POTS symptoms.
