Original Primary Outcome: Measuring the time to onset of near-syncopal symptoms (of sufficient severity that would cause the subject to ask that the tilt table be returned to the horizontal position) during a protocolized tilt table test. [ Time Frame: 10 minutes ]

Current Secondary Outcome:

• Time to Onset of Near-syncopal Symptoms in The Per-protocol Population [ Time Frame: 1 hour post-dose ]
  The tilt table test is a 10-minute assessment performed using a manual or automated tilt table in a specialized laboratory. Subjects were moved onto the horizontal table and secured to the table with straps to prevent injury. After an equilibration period of at least 10 minutes with the subject at rest, the test began and the head of the tilt table was elevated to a 70-degree angle over a period of up to 30 seconds. The head-up tilt table test in this study was conducted 1 hour after administration of the study medication. The endpoint was a confirmed report of a near-syncopal symptom(s) (of sufficient severity that caused the patient to ask that the tilt table be returned to the horizontal position). Symptoms of near syncope were defined as dizziness, lightheadedness, feeling faint, or feeling like the subject might black out.
• Time to Onset of Near-syncopal Symptoms in The Per-protocol Population Analysis #2 [ Time Frame: 1 hour post-dose ]
  The tilt table test is a 10-minute assessment performed using a manual or automated tilt table in a specialized laboratory. Subjects were moved onto the horizontal table and secured to the table with straps to prevent injury. After an equilibration period of at least 10 minutes with the subject at rest, the test began and the head of the tilt table was elevated to a 70-degree angle over a period of up to 30 seconds. The head-up tilt table test in this study was conducted 1 hour after administration of the study medication. The endpoint was a confirmed report of a near- syncopal symptom(s) (of sufficient severity that caused the patient to ask that the tilt table be returned to the horizontal position). Symptoms of near syncope were defined as dizziness, lightheadedness, feeling faint, or feeling like the subject might black out. In this outcome measure, the data analyzed are the same as for Outcome Measure 4 but the summary data are presented as least squares mean (standard error).
• Time to Near-syncopal Symptoms at Treatment Visit 1 [ Time Frame: 1 hour post-dose ]
  The tilt table test is a 10-minute assessment performed using a manual or automated tilt table in a specialized laboratory. Subjects were moved onto the horizontal table and secured to the table with straps to prevent injury. After an equilibration period of at least 10 minutes with the subject at rest, the test began and the head of the tilt table was elevated to a 70-degree angle over a period of up to 30 seconds. The head-up tilt table test in this study was conducted 1 hour after administration of the study medication. The endpoint was a confirmed report of a near-syncopal symptom(s) (of sufficient severity that caused the patient to ask that the tilt table be returned to the horizontal position). Symptoms of near syncope were defined as dizziness, lightheadedness, feeling faint, or feeling like the subject might black out.
• Duration of The Effect of Treatment at 3 Hours Post-dose [ Time Frame: 1 and 3 hours post-dose ]
  Duration of effect was defined as the difference in time to onset of near-syncopal symptoms between the first and second tilt table test, conducted at 1 hour and 3 hours post-dose, respectively, at Treatment Visit 2 (time to onset at 3 hours minus time at 1 hour). The tilt table test is a 10-minute assessment performed using a manual or automated tilt table in a specialized laboratory. Subjects were moved onto the horizontal table and secured to the table with straps to prevent injury. After an equilibration period of at least 10 minutes with the subject at rest, the test began and the head of the tilt table was elevated to a 70-degree angle over a period of up to 30 seconds. The endpoint was a confirmed report of a near-syncopal symptom(s) (of sufficient severity that caused the patient to ask that the tilt table be returned to the horizontal position). Symptoms of near syncope were defined as dizziness, lightheadedness, feeling faint, or feeling like the subject might black out.
• Total Score of the Orthostatic Hypotension Symptom Assessment (OHSA) [ Time Frame: Approximately 1 hour post-dose ]
  The OHSA measures the severity of six symptoms/symptom complexes associated with orthostatic hypotension. Subjects rated symptoms experienced during the tilt table test on an eleven-point scale from "none" to "worst possible". The OHSA total score is the sum of six subscales, ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to 60 (worst possible symptoms). The OHSA was completed after the tilt table test was over, but was answered with reference to symptoms experienced during testing. The tilt table test is a 10-minute assessment performed using a manual or automated tilt table in a specialized laboratory. Subjects were moved onto the horizontal table and secured to the table with straps to prevent injury. After an equilibration period with the subject at rest, the test began and the head of the tilt table was elevated to a 70-degree angle over a period of up to 30 seconds. Symptoms of near syncope were defined as dizziness, lightheadedness, feeling faint, or feeling like the subject might black out.
• Scores for 6 Items of The OHSA [ Time Frame: Approximately 1 hour post-dose ]
  The OHSA measures the severity of six symptoms/symptom co
  
  

  Original Secondary Outcome:

  • To evaluate the clinical benefit of midodrine by the use of the Orthostatic Hypotension Symptom Assessment and Clinical Global Impression Scales [ Time Frame: 2 days ]
  • To evaluate the safety of midodrine by assessing heart rate, blood pressure, ECG, laboratory findings and physical examination. [ Time Frame: 2 days ]
