5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The goal of this study is to implement a non-invasive version of the sweat secretion test based in visualization of sweat glands following β-adrenergic stimulation of sweat. Specifically, the trial will evaluate the relative response of sweat glands to β-adrenergic and cholinergic stimulation among participants with CF, heterozygous and matched control subjects

Intervention Type
Diagnostic Test
Intervention Name(s)
Iontophoresis sessions in forearm of subjects with pilocarpine
Intervention Description
The test with two iontophoresis sessions is performed in a forearm of subjects. Pilocarpine is applied during the first iontophoresis session to evoke cholinergic-induced sweat secretion. Atropine, isoprenaline and aminophylline are applied during the second iontophoresis session, to block the cholinergic component and to evoke β-adrenergic-induced sweat secretion.
Primary Outcome Measure Information:
Title
Ratio between the β-adrenergic/cholinergic rate
Description
The ratio between the β-adrenergic/cholinergic rate (nL/min) of droplets of sweat is calculated.
Time Frame
up to 30 minutes
