Autonomic Function Lab assumes a central part in Autonomic Function Testing at AIIMS and works together with a few Departments in a significant number of its projects. It shapes the principle center point for research in clinical physiology at AIIMS. The lab was set up in 1989, at first to seek after research on patients of cerebellar ataxia. Since autonomic capacities are unsettled in a few restorative issue, soon its prominence developed for both analytic help and for community oriented research. We have prepared more than 60 understudies including 5 WHO colleagues, from neighboring nations.

A few Postgraduate understudies from clinical controls have done their examination work (proposal work) in our lab. The orders incorporate Ophthalmology, Neurology, Gastroenterology, Medicine, Dermatology, Orthopedics, Psychiatry and Endocrinology. At present PGs from a few offices are seeking after their examination work in the lab
