Brief Summary:
This prospective, single-center observational study evaluates the clinical utility of intraoperative sympathetic nerve width measurement during thoracoscopic sympathectomy (ETS) for palmar/craniofacial hyperhidrosis (PH/CH) and facial blushing (FF). The study aims to correlate nerve width-measured using a novel Rapid Intraoperative Sympathetic Nerve Width System (RMSNW-OS) (±0.2mm precision)-with surgical outcomes, compensatory sweating rates, patient satisfaction, and 12-month efficacy.
Approximately 1,000 patients (aged 18-55) will undergo standardized ETS at Shanghai First People's Hospital (2025-2029). Objective metrics include thermographic (palmar/forehead temperature), hemodynamic (HR/BP), biochemical (catecholamines), and Doppler flow measurements. Patient-reported outcomes use diagnosis-specific binary questionnaires and the Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale (HDSS).
Statistical analysis will determine if nerve width predicts treatment response. Innovations include RMSNW-OS standardization and a multidimensional assessment framework to optimize ETS precision and patient quality of life.
