DID YOU KNOW?

An estimated 70 million people have autonomic disorders.

Most providers receive only 2 hours of training on autonomic disorders in medical school.

Few clinicians in the US are trained to diagnose and treat autonomic disorders.

There are only 72 UCNS board certified autonomic specialists in the world.

Why Collaborate with TDP

The Dysautonomia Project is well-acquainted with the challenges providers and their patients with autonomic disorders face. It’s why we exist. Since 2014 we’ve worked directly with top autonomic specialists in the world to bridge the knowledge gap between what they know and what community providers and patients need to know. 

This book is truly excellent. It is probably the best handbook ever attempted [on] autonomic disorder. I know this has been a labor of love, and one that will help countless individuals. 

-David Robertson, MD
Vanderbilt University 

This book serves a critical role for both patients and doctors in revealing some of the apparent mysteries of autonomic disorders. It fills an important need in the initial recognition and diagnosis of these often “invisible illnesses,” which is the first, essential step in helping patients get better care. 

-Satish Raj, MD, MSCI, FACC
Libin Cardiovascular Institute of Alberta, Canada

This book is an impressive, thorough compilation of information that will be invaluable to patients and doctors. I’ll put it, no, chain it down in my waiting room with instruction on how patients can order it on their own.

-Alan Pocinki, MD, FACP

Free online education is at the heart of our mission. As TDP grows, so does our library of online video courses for providers and patients.  Providers can access courses taught by leading experts in autonomic medicine and apply that knowledge to diagnosing and treating patients with autonomic disorders. Patients have access to information about diagnosing, treating, and living with autonomic disorders, which empowers them to manage and advocate for their own healthcare.  This includes a one-hour patient education course.

Autonomic Disorder Assessment:

Share this assessment with your patients.  You can use the assessment to screen undiagnosed patients and summarize symptoms for diagnosed patients.  The patient can even take the assessment while they wait for you in the clinic.  They will be emailed the report which can be shared with you to speed the time it takes in the clinic to discuss new symptoms.  Repeat use of the assessment is a great way to see trends in symptoms by organ system over time.
