Compensatory Hyperhidrosis: Results of Pharmacologic Treatment With Oxybutynin [PDF]
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2014 Hyperhidrosis may affect nearly 3% of the population, and thoracic/lumbar sympathectomy has been highly effective. Compensatory hyperhidrosis is a risk associated with surgical procedures, and its treatment is both complex and not well defined. Treatment of primary hyperhidrosis with oxybutynin has yielded positive results; however, its use in ...

Satisfaction and compensatory hyperhidrosis rates 5 years and longer after video-assisted thoracoscopic sympathotomy for hyperhidrosis [PDF]
The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2014 The objective of the present study was to determine the long-term fate and factors of compensatory hyperhidrosis (CH) in patients who have undergone video-assisted thoracoscopic sympathotomy for focal hyperhidrosis.The same quality-of-life survey was administered 6 months postoperatively and then annually to all patients who underwent video-assisted ...

Machine learning analysis of primary hyperhidrosis for classification of hyperhidrosis type and prediction of compensatory hyperhidrosis. [PDF]
J Thorac Dis, 2023 Although sympathectomy is highly effective for improving symptom, compensatory hyperhidrosis (CH) is a major issue. In this study, characteristics of primary hyperhidrosis were investigated in terms of the heart rate variability (HRV) parameters. Classification of hyperhidrosis type and prediction of CH after sympathicotomy were also determined using ...
