What is autonomic testing?
Autonomic testing, also known as autonomic reflex screen or autonomic response testing, is a non-invasive test that measures how the autonomic nervous system (ANS) works to control blood pressure, heart rate, digestion, and sweating. Disorders such as autonomic neuropathy, autonomic dysfunction, dysautonomia, and other related conditions can be diagnosed using autonomic testing.
Autonomic testingis typically conducted by Penn Medicine neurodiagnostic professionals, or specialists in autonomic disorders. The results of these tests can help your Penn care team identify an autonomic nervous system dysfunction, diagnose autonomic disorders, and develop appropriate treatment plans to manage symptoms and improve your quality of life.
