Background: Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is an autonomic disturbance characterized by the clinical symptoms of orthostatic intolerance, mainly light headedness, fatigue, sweating, tremor, anxiety, palpitation, exercise intolerance and near syncope on upright posture. These are relieved on lying down. Patients also have a heart rate >120 beats/min (bpm) on standing or increase their heart rate by 30 bpm from a resting heart rate after standing for 10 min. A nerve conduction study (NCS) is a medical diagnostic test commonly used to evaluate the function, especially the ability of electrical conduction, of the motor and sensory nerves of the human body. The aim of this study is to demonstrate median, ulnar, peroneal, tibial nerve conduction results POTS patients. Methods: 177 patients were selected randomly from our clinic with POTS. Nerve conduction results of median, ulnar, peroneal, tibial nerves were reviewed from electronic medical records. Results: Out of 177 patients, 151 patients are females (85%, n=151, age 32.07±11.10), 26 patients are males (15%, n=26, age 29.08±17.40).Median nerve conduction results are 57.83 m/sec ±7.58 m/sec, Ulnar nerve conduction results are 56.62 m/sec ±6.85 m/sec, Peroneal nerve conduction results are 49.96 m/sec ±6.85 m/sec, Tibial nerve conduction results are 50.70 m/sec ±6.86 m/sec. Conclusion: The nerve conduction velocities tend to be within normal range in Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) patients.
