Neurocirculatory Dystonia (NCD) is a clinical syndrome characterized by a complex set of symptoms affecting the cardiovascular and autonomic nervous systems. The condition, also known as Vegetative-Vascular Dystonia, has been a subject of debate among healthcare professionals due to its controversial nature. While some view NCD as an outdated diagnosis with no clear pathological basis, others argue that it represents a valid set of disorders that require attention and treatment. The clinical manifestations of NCD include irregularities in blood pressure, heart rate, dizziness, fatigue, and mood disturbances. These symptoms often mimic other conditions, making diagnosis challenging. Current research suggests that NCD may be linked to stress, hormonal imbalances, and environmental factors, and may also have a genetic predisposition. Early diagnosis and individualized treatment strategies are crucial for managing symptoms and improving the quality of life for patients. Despite its controversial status, Neurocirculatory Dystonia continues to affect many individuals, and further research is needed to clarify its pathophysiology and treatment options.
