Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

MiraDry® treatment

Arm Description

The miraDry System is a noninvasive method that utilizes microwave energy to destroy the sweat glands at the dermal-fat interface. Each participant will be scheduled one MiraDry ® treatment with the possiblity of a second intervention approximately three months apart if the primary objective is not fullfilled efter the first.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

The effectiveness of miraDry treatment
The effect of the treatment will be measured by the participants completing the Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale (score 1 to 4, where a score of 3 or 4 indicates severe hyperhidrosis and a score of 1 or 2 indicates mild or moderate hyperhidrosis) att baseline (prescreening), at 3 month follow-up visit and 1 year follow-up visit.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Frequency of side effects
Short and long term effects will be assessed during treatment and by follow -up telephone visits 2 weeks after the treatment(s), at 3 month follow-up and 1 year follow-up.
Dermatology Life Quality Index assessment
The participants will be asked to complete the Dermatology Life Quality Index, calculated by summing the score of each question resulting in a maximum of 30 and a minimum of 0. The higher the score, the more quality of life is impaired. The paticipants will complete the questionnaire at baseline, at 3 months follow-up visit and 1 year follow-up visit.
Hospital anxiety and depression scale assessment
The participants will be asked to complete the questionnaire at baseline, at 3 months follow-up visit and 1 year follow-up visit. The questionnaire has seven items each for depression and anxiety subscales. Scoring for each item ranges from zero to three, with three denoting highest anxiety or depression level. A total subscale score of >8 points out of a possible 21 denotes considerable symptoms of anxiety or depression.
Hyperhidrosis Quality of Life Index assessment
The participants will be asked to complete the Hyperhidrosis Quality of Life Index at baseline, at 3 months follow-up visit and 1 year follow-up visit. There are 18 items and score ranges from 0 to 36, with higher scores indicating a lower Hyperhidrosis Quality of Life Index.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Primary localized hyperhidrosis is a dermatological disorder that involves excessive sweat production without an underlying cause. The disease usually affects the axillae but can also involve palms, soles of the feet or face and causes major problems in many social situations with a negative impact on quality of life and mental health. In this study, the investigators want to investigate the effect of microwave therapy (MiraDry®) on self-rated sweating, quality of life and anxiety in participants with severe axillary hyperhidrosis. The study also aims to evaluate the safety (side effects) of the method and long term effects over 1 year of follow upp.
Detailed Description
The study is conducted during several visits or telephone follow-ups at the clinic over a period of 12 months and each patient receives a maximum of two treatments with MiraDry® (at 3-month intervals). 100 participants are planned to participate in the study. The primary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of the miraDry ® treatment measured by Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale(HDSS). Secondary objectives are to evaluate the side effects and the quality of Life by assessment of The Dermatology life Quality Index, The Hyperhidrosis Quality of Life Index, and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale.
