The objective is to establish and evidence base for hyperhidrosis treatment algorithm in amputees.This project will address a problem that has troubled Service members, Veterans, and civilians with amputations for decades, impacting satisfaction with prosthetic use, residual limb skin health, and negatively affecting quality of life. Prior research in this area has been limited and insufficient. We plan to conduct an open label study of Botox, up to 400 units, to treat limb hyperhidrosis in patients with amputations. The actual dose of Botox used will be based on individual results with the Iodine-Starch test to identify areas on the residual limb that are producing excessive sweat. Botulinum Toxin A (BTX-A): Botulinum toxin therapy is well-established for use in excessive sweating of several body areas (axillary, palmar, plantar, and facial) in individuals with hyperhidrosis and inadequate response to topical treatments. Extensive research has been conducted on the efficacy and safety of BTX-A for hyperhidrosis of other areas, and it has been shown to improve both objective and subjective measures of sweating, and lead to improved quality of life measures. This will be accomplished by completing the following: Test the validity of the Minor iodine-starch test in amputees. 1. Hypothesis: The iodine-starch test is a valid diagnostic tool of hyperhidrosis and can be useful for the identification of focal areas of sweating on a residual limb. 2. Treat the residual limb Hyperhidrosis with Botox, up to and limited to 400 units. Hypothesis: Treatment of residual limb Hyperhidrosis with Botox will result in improved patient reports of excessive sweating as measured by the HDSS and as measured by subjects' response to iodine-starch testing. We are confident that improving the evaluation and treatment of residual limb hyperhidrosis will reduce the secondary health consequences of amputation and will lead to improved quality of life.
Hyperhidrosis or sweating of palms results from the overactivity of sweat glands and leads to psychosocial impairment with reduction in quality of life in those that are affected. Injection of botulinum toxin has been shown to be effective in reducing the symptoms of hyperhidrosis with associated improvement in quality of life, but is usually very painful. Microneedles are a different modality for transdermal drug penetration without the pain. This study aims to understand if botulinum toxin A can be delivered topically after microneedle pretreatment in hopes of developing a minimally painful treatment protocol for treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis.
This is a pilot, open-label, and single-center, single-treatment prospective evaluation of the electrocoagulation of axillary sweat gland tissue using the ThermiRF device to improve excessive sweating of the axilla(s). In this study, "Temporary Relief" is defined as improvement on the DLQI. Twenty male and female subjects between 18 and 50 years old will be enrolled. A total of five visits are planned for this study. A punch biopsy will be collected (prior to and post treatment and analyzed to determine the degree of impact to the tissue after the electrocoagulation treatment. Safety assessments will be collected using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) a 10-point scale, and adverse events reports (observed or reported). The total length of the study is approximately 4 months.
Because of the limiting data about an efficacy and safety of fractional radiofrequency for the treatment of hyperhidrosis, this study aim to compare clinical efficacy by Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Score (HDSS) between Fractional Microneedle Radiofrequency device and intradermal Botulinum toxin type A injection for the treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis. The secondary objectives to determine the improvement change of iodine starch test, total amount of sweat production by trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), patient's satisfaction and their quality of life by Dermatology Life Quality Index and side effect between the groups.
The aim of the study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and efficacy of escalating concentrations of GPB in subjects with axillary hyperhidrosis.
This study is being conducted to assess the safety and efficacy of 3 concentrations of BBI-4000 and vehicle (4 treatment arms), applied for the treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis.
Primary focal hyperhidrosis interferes with daily activities. Limited efficacy, costs, side effects and complications are issues of concern for most current therapeutic modalities. In this study the invetigators aim to evaluate the efficacy of topical oxybutynin 10% gel in treating primary focal hyperhidrosis. 60 patients with primary focal hyperhidrosis will be recruited. Topical oxybutynin 10% gel will be assigned to the right or left axilla, palm or sole and a placebo compound to the contralateral side for a total of 30 days. The Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale (HDSS) and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) questionnaires will be administered before and after treatment, and 2 noninvolved blinded physicians will score the results using starch-iodine tests. The participants will grade the sweat reduction on both sides and rated their satisfaction.
This study will evaluate the use of hydrogel electrode pads (rather than tap water baths) to deliver iontophoresis treatment using a traditional iontophoresis device. Participants will treat one hand with the hydrogel-based iontophoresis device and leave the other hand untreated.
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.
