Hypermobility, POTS and Brain-Fog - Evidence from an Experimental Medicine Challenge

Explore the critical connections between hypermobility, POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), and cognitive dysfunction in this comprehensive medical presentation by Dr. Jessica Eccles, a neurodevelopmental psychiatrist and researcher from Brighton and Sussex Medical School. Delivered at the Johns Hopkins POTS Meeting, this 72-minute talk examines the often-overlooked links between joint hypermobility, brain-body connections, and autonomic nervous system dysfunction. Discover experimental medicine evidence that illuminates the mechanisms behind the debilitating brain fog and cognitive symptoms commonly experienced by patients with POTS and hypermobility conditions. Learn about cutting-edge research methodologies used to investigate these complex relationships and gain insights into how hypermobility may contribute to autonomic dysfunction and its associated cognitive impacts. The presentation provides valuable scientific evidence for healthcare professionals, researchers, and patients seeking to understand the intricate connections between connective tissue disorders, autonomic dysfunction, and neurological symptoms.
