Comparing two surgeries for excessive hand sweating
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study compares two similar surgical procedures to treat excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) in the hands and armpits. The procedures aim to stop the nerves that cause sweating, and the study looks at which one may cause less side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with primary hyperhidrosis, which means excessive sweating that is not caused by another health condition.
- The excessive sweating affects your palms and/or armpits.
- You are 6 years old or older.
- You have not had any previous surgery in your chest area.
- You do not have other medical conditions that cause excessive sweating (like thyroid problems, diabetes, or menopause), and you do not have any psychological problems.

This trial tests a surgery called bilateral thoracoscopic sympathectomy to treat severe, unexplained sweating of the hands and face. It aims to see if the surgery improves quality of life and reduces sweating.
This study checks whether routine chest X-rays and lung ultrasounds are needed after a surgery that treats excessive hand sweating. It aims to find a faster, safer way to confirm your lungs are fine before you go home the same day.
This trial tests a surgical procedure that targets the nerves responsible for facial blushing and excessive sweating. It may help people whose symptoms are severe and haven't improved with other treatments.
This study tests a new injection treatment for people with very sweaty palms. It compares using alcohol with a numbing medicine versus using the numbing medicine alone to see which works better.
This trial tests a new polymer film device to reduce excessive sweating on the palms. It may be a good option if you have had sweaty palms for at least 6 months and haven't tried other prescription treatments recently.
This study compares two different nerve block methods to numb the arm for surgery. The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief and fewer side effects during and after your procedure.
