Continuous evaluation of exosomatic electrodermal activity in patients with primary palmoplantar hyperhidrosis
DOI: 10.31744/einstein_journal/2024AO1152
Highlights ■ Continuous exosomatic electrodermal activity was associated with higher skin conductance levels in patients with hyperhidrosis. ■ Palmoplantar sweating was significantly higher in the hyperhidrosis group than in the control group (p<0.01). ■ Electrodermal activity is an effective and simple method for objectively quantifying sweating in patients with hyperhidrosis. ABSTRACT Objective: To objectively evaluate sweat intensity in patients with primary hyperhidrosis by measuring electrodermal activity using a continuous exosomatic technique without external stimuli. Methods: This prospective and transversal study […]

Unexpected improvement of hyperhidrosis with cannabidiol
DOI: 10.31744/einstein_journal/2022RC5795
ABSTRACT Hyperhidrosis is characterized by excessive sweating and it affects almost 5% of the population. The affected age group is wide, and it can affect from children to elderlies. There are two types of hyperhidrosis: generalized and focal. Treatment depends on the symptoms presented. In more severe cases, radiofrequency sympatholysis and bilateral thoracic sympathectomy are the options. However, recurrence is possible or the postoperative appearance of conditions called compensatory hyperhidrosis or reflex hyperhidrosis. We describe two cases of patients treated […]

Comparative study of transepidermal water loss in patients with and without hyperhidrosis by closed-chamber measurer in an air-conditioned environment
DOI: 10.31744/einstein_journal/2018AO4312
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the difference in transepidermal water loss in patients diagnosed with hyperhidrosis and healthy subjects, in an air-conditioned environment. Methods Twenty patients diagnosed with hyperhidrosis and 20 healthy subjects were subjected to quantitative assessment using a closed-chamber device, in six previously established sites. Results The measurements showed different transepidermal water loss values for healthy subjects and patients with hyperhidrosis, especially in the hands and feet. In the Control Group, the median for the hands was 46.4g/m2/hour (p25: […]

Oxybutynin treatment for hyperhidrosis: a comparative analysis between genders
DOI: 10.1590/S1679-45082012000400002
OBJECTIVE: To assess the results of palmar and axillary hyperhidrosis treatment in males and females using low doses of oxybutynin. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted in 395 women and 170 men followed up in our service with complaint of palmar and axillary hyperhidrosis. RESULTS: A total of 70% of patients in both groups presented partial or great improvement in the level of hyperhidrosis after treatment. The best results were obtained in the female group, in which 40% classified their […]
