-Summary
This was a randomized, open-label clinical trial. We will enroll patients with symptomatic neurogenic OH and randomize them to 1 of 2 treatments: (1) midodrine only, (2) atomoxetine only. We will follow up patients at 1 and 3 months after treatment. If the patients meet BP criteria for OH at 1 month, they will receive combination treatment with both midodrine and atomoxetin. The primary outcome measure is amelioration of questionnaire score evaluating OH-associated symptoms at 3 months. Secondary end-points were improvement in orthostatic blood pressure (BP) drop at 1 and 3 months.

1. Enroll, baseline evaluation of the patients
2. Questionnaire
* Evaluate orthostatic hypotension symptom: Orthostatic Hypotension Questionnaire (OHQ)
* Quality of life: Korean version of Short-form 36
* Depressive symptom: Korean version of Beck Depression Inventory(BDI)-2
3. Blood test (6cc): ELISA for alpha 1,2 and beta 1,2 adrenergic receptor antibody and nicotinic acetylcholine receptor antibody. Preserve sample for genetic testing.
4. Randomization: randomize patients to three group in 1:1 ratio (Midodrine 5mg/day single, Atomoxetine 18mg/day single)
5. Treatment education Visit 2. 1 month after treatment Orthostatic BP check/ check drug compliance and side effect/ Questionnaire If the patients meet BP criteria for OH, initiate combination treatment (Midodrine 5mg/day+Atomoxetine 18mg/day) Visit 3. 3 months after treatment Orthostatic BP check/ check drug compliance and side effect/ Questionnaire

+Outcome measures
Primary outcomes
- Change of the Orthostatic Hypotension Associated Symptom Questionnaire (OH Questionnaire (OHQ) [after 3-month medical treatment]: Change of the OH associated symptom survey result after 3-month medical treatment compared to initial results. OHQ questionnaire has two components: the OH daily activity scale (OHDAS), which contains 4 items measuring the impact of OH on daily activities, and the OH symptom assessment (OHSA), which contains 6 items measuring the symptoms of OH (dizziness/light headedness, vision disturbance, weakness, fatigue, trouble concentrating, and head/neck discomfort).This questionnaire reflects the severity of OH-related symptoms on a 10-point scale, with 0 indicating the absence of a symptom and 10 indicating maximal severity.
** OHQ total score minimal 0 \~ maximal 100 (subscale OHDAS score minimal 0\~ maximal 40, OHSA score minimal 0\~ maximal 60)
Secondary outcomes
- Change in Orthostatic blood pressure Drop (mmHg) [after 3-month medical treatment]: Change of orthostatic Systolic blood pressure and Diastolic Blood Pressure drop after 3-month medical treatment compared to initial results.
- Change of the Depression Score (Beck Depression Inventory-II ) [after 3-month medical treatment]: Change of the depression score after 3-month medical treatment compared to initial results.
21 multiple-choice questions, each of which can be scored from 0 to 3. Higher score represent higher degree of depression. Score Normal; 0-13, Mild depression; 14-19, Moderate depression; 20-28, Severe depression; 29- 63
- Changes in Health-related Quality of Life [after 3-month medical treatment]: changes in Short Form (36) Health Survey version 2 (SF-36v2) physical component summary scale (PCS) compared to the baseline SF-36v2 measures eight HRQOL domains (physical functioning, role limitation caused by physical problems, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role limitation caused by emotional problems, and mental health) summarized into two summary scales that are normalized to the population (mean=50, standard deviation=10): the physical component summary scale (PCS) and the mental component summary scale (MCS).20 Better HRQOL is reflected by higher SF-36v2 scores.
