All trials for Hyperhidrosis All trials of Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) All trials of NeuroBloc/Myobloc (rimabotulinumtoxinB)
Hyperhidrosis is defined as excessive sweating and affects about 2.8 % of the population.
It has been shown to have a deleterious effect on the quality of life measured using the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) which is one of the most widely used dermatology-specific quality of life instruments. This is comparable to the effect on quality of life in patients with severe psoriasis of the skin as well as to nodulocystic acne patients before treatment with oral isotretinoin.
The clinical effect of Botulinum Toxin (Btx) A has been established in three randomized controlled trials (RCT) in axillary hyperhidrosis. One RCT has indicated a positive effect in palmar hyperhidrosis. Although there is increasing evidence that Btx A and B have a similar effect on hyperhidrosis of other parts of the body (ie hyperhidrosis of the face, trunk, groin and feet) which is reported in case-reports and open studies there is still a great need for more controlled studies. This is why we will carry out this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to investigate the clinical effect and safety of Btx A in palmar, plantar and inguinal (groins/buttocks) hyperhidrosis and the clinical effect and safety of Btx B in craniofacial and truncal hyperhidrosis, respectively. Besides using the DLQI instrument we will also study Btx A/B to elucidate the impact of this treatment on quality of life using a generic instrument, the effect on anxiety and depressive symptoms, sweating, and patients´global assessment of therapy.
