The Vanderbilt Autonomic Dysfunction Center is one of the nation's leading expert centers in dysautonomia, or autonomic dysfunction. Established in 1978, our center continues to provide clinical and research expertise, advanced patient care, and valuable support resources to patients with disorders of the autonomic nervous system.

The Clinical Research Center at Vanderbilt Health conducts ongoing clinical research studies to better understand the pathophysiology of the autonomic nervous system and its role in autonomic dysfunction, all the while seeking to discover new therapies to help optimize treatment of known autonomic disorders.
