RRIV: R-R interval variation; NR: normal blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) response in head-up tilt test: no abnormal change in BP and HR; N: normal; SSR: sympathetic skin response; Q-Sweat: quantitative sweat measurement.

In Q-Sweat test, the total sweat volume (median (min, max) for female normal control were 0.495 (0.02, 3.814) (forearm), 0.505 (0.06, 4.49) (proximal leg), 0.389 (0.015, 4.914) (distal leg) and 0.203 (0.014, 0.802) (foot), and for male normal control were 1.079 (0.02, 3.814) (forearm), 1.091 (0.029, 2.734) (proximal leg), 1.107 (0.043, 2.902) (distal leg) and 0.585 (0.041, 1.718) (foot).
