BACKGROUND: Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by generalized or localized hyperfunction of the eccrine sweat glands with a deep negative impact on patient's quality of life.
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy and the safety of Botulin Toxin A (BTX-A) intradermal injection in the treatment of primary axillary and palmar hyperhidrosis, investigating symptoms-free period, and the subjective improving of quality life.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: 50 consecutive patients with primary hyperhidrosis were evaluated detecting age, gender, hyperhidrosis onset period, disease duration and years of treatment with BTX-A, Minor's iodine test, Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale (HDSS), Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI).
RESULTS: The treatment is significantly effective both for axillae and palms: the majority of the patients improved their HDSS and Minor's scores from a value of 4 in the two tests, to values of 1 (HDSS) and 0 (Minor test). Patients reported a duration of symptoms relief from 4 to 12 months, with a mean of 5.68 months; specifically, we have observed that the axillary group experienced a longer symptoms-free period (mean RFS 7.2 months) than the palmar group (mean: RFS 4.27 months).
CONCLUSIONS: Authors suggest that BTX-A is a safe, easy, and fast procedure for the treatment of primary axillary and palmar hyperhidrosis.
