Effect of Psychotherapy on Quality of Life and Recurrence of Events in Patients With Recurrent Vasovagal Syncope: A Randomized Pilot Study
Recurrent vasovagal syncope although presenting a benign prognosis in terms of survival, is
 associated with significant impairment of quality of life. The impaired emotional status is
 also related to the recurrence of the events, closing a negative cycle for the evolution of
 the disease. This study aims to evaluate the effect of psychotherapy on the quality of life
 and in the number of syncope and pre-syncope events during one year of follow-up of patients
 with recurrent vasovagal syncope.
