Clinical Trial Summary

Twenty patients with PAH had 1 session of Fractionated microneedle radiofrequency treatment. Clinical improvement was evaluated using a Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale (HDSS) and photographs were taken using the starch-iodine test at every visit and 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 24 weeks after the treatment. Skin biopsies were obtained from 3 of the enrolled patients before and after treatment. The satisfaction and adverse reactions of the research participants were recorded at every follow-up visit.

Description:

Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale (HDSS)Score = 1 My sweating is never noticeable and never interferes with my daily activitiesScore = 2 My sweating is tolerable but sometimes interferes with my daily activitiesScore = 3 My sweating is barely tolerable and frequently interferes with my daily activitiesScore = 4 My sweating is intolerable and always interferes with my daily activities
