Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Number of participants developing compensatory hyperhidrosis (reflex sweating) following sympathectomy.	Number pf patients developing compensatory hyperhidrosis (reflex sweating) following sympathectomy. Compensatory hyperhidrosis was graded as "severe" when the patient mentioned that sweating interfered with his or her normal activity, "moderate" when the patient indicated that his or her sweating was not bothersome and "mild" when the patient did not mention dampness or made only a brief reference.	one year	Yes
