Active clinical trials for "Hyperhidrosis"

Evaluation of the effectiveness of oxybutynin in hyperhidrosis

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of glycopyrrolate compared to vehicle for the treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis.

This study is based on the hypothesis that terazosin, a blocker of alpha-1 receptors, will be effective in reducing excessive sweating caused by antidepressant treatment, and will have minimal adverse effects.

Essential palmar hyperhidrosis (EPH) is a pathological condition of excessive sweating of the hands due to an unexplained over-activity of the T2 and T3 sympathetic fibers. Endoscopy Thoracoscopic Sympathectomy (ETS) is the treatment of choice in patients with EPH refractory to medical treatment . The cardiac sympathetic activity is mainly controlled by cervical sympathetic fibers but anatomic studies have showed that "accessory" fibers from the T2 and T3 sympathetic ganglia come to the heart and influence its function. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is a simple and non-invasive method based on electrocardiogram to evaluate the sympathovagal balance at the sino-atrial level. Several studies have found that ETS caused a decrease of heart rate (HR), an increase of HR variability (HRV) and a shift of sympathovagal balance toward parasympathetic tone but remains unclear if these changes are associated with the extend of ETS. Thus, in the present study the investigator performed a prospective analysis of HRV function in patients with EPH undergoing different sympathetic denervations as sympathectomy and sympathicotomy with the hypothesis that cardiac autonomic changes could be associated with the extend of sympathetic resection.

A study using Botulinum Toxin Type A in adolescents with axillary hyperhidrosis.

The purpose of this study is to describe two safe and reproducible techniques for the treatment of hyperhidrosis using botulinum toxin. The same patient will receive two different injection technique in each armpit and will be evaluated subjectively and objectively.

The Purpose of the study is to evaluate the 1440nm Laser Assisted Selective Photothermolysis vs. Botulinum Toxin or miraDry® Microwave Thermolysis For Treatment of Axillary Hyperhidrosis.

This is a three year open-label study in subjects with axillary hyperhidrosis.

Comparison between unilateral sequential and bilateral simultaneous endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy for palmar hyperhidrosis on patients outcomes notably compensatory hyperhidrosis.

Up to 20 subjects will be treated. Subjects will receive two (2) bilateral Ultherapy™ or Sham treatments of the axilla. The study hypothesis is that subjects who receive Ultherapy™ treatment will have a greater reduction in axillary sweating compared to subjects receiving Sham treatments. Follow-up visits will occur at 7 and 14 days following treatment #1, and at 7, 14, 30, 60 and 90 days following treatment #2. At each follow-up visit, assessments will be completed to compare the amount of axillary sweating compared to baseline.
