Checking lungs after hand-sweating surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- You are scheduled for surgery on both sides of your chest to treat excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) or facial flushing.
- You are planning to go home the same day as the surgery.
- You have not had any previous surgery on the same side of your chest.
- You do not have a deformed chest wall.

This study uses lung ultrasound before surgery to see if it can help predict breathing complications after major non-chest surgery. If you are having a long surgery under general anesthesia, this could help your care team better monitor and protect your lungs.
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.
This study uses a simple breathing test before scheduled heart surgery to see if it can help predict breathing or lung complications after the operation. The results may help doctors identify patients who need extra support during recovery.
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 is testing how different ventilator settings (the machine that breathes for you during surgery) affect your lungs after surgery. They will use ultrasound to check for lung problems in the first 2 hours after surgery to see which setting is best for recovery.
This study looks at how the position you are placed in during surgery affects your lungs afterward. Doctors will use a simple ultrasound to check for lung collapse (atelectasis) after your operation, to try to find better ways to prevent it.
