Comparing two surgery types for severe sweating
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This trial compares two locations for a nerve-cutting surgery to treat severe hand or underarm sweating. The goal is to see which approach has a lower chance of causing new sweating on other body parts after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
