Abstract
Strong levels of evidence were found for 4 of the 8 interventions: functional electrical stimulation in spinal cord injury, compression of the legs and/or abdomen, physical countermaneuvers in various patient populations, and eating smaller and more frequent meals in chronic autonomic failure. However, this conclusion is based on a limited number of studies with small sample sizes. Further research into all interventions is warranted.
