Brief Summary: To investigate the effectiveness of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation on Hyperhidrosis Severity on patients with primary Palmar Hyperhidrosis
Detailed Description: Hyperhidrosis might be a primary condition or secondary condition due to medications or systemic disorders Primary hyperhidrosis is usually focalbilateral and symmetric It mainly affects the axillae palms soles face and scalp The incidence of primary hyperhidrosis has been reported to be between 0628 in both genders Symptoms usually begin in childhood or around puberty It interferes with daily social and occupational activities of patients and significantly impacts their quality of life
Various treatments have been proposed to control primary hyperhidrosis The treatment options for hyperhidrosis include topical therapy anticholinergic iontophoresis botulinum toxin and surgery
In addition to these treatment options for hyperhidrosis several medical devices delivering energy to destroy sweat glands are undergoing promising clinical investigation Microwave technology several lasers such as 1064-nm 1320-nm and 1440-nm neodymium yttrium- aluminum-garnet laser 924-nm and 975-nm diode laser long-pulsed 800- nm diode laser micro needle radio frequency and ultrasound technology could be included as example of the device
In spite of these treatment options the best therapeutic choice is still undefined This concept encourages us to investigate the effectiveness of recent technique in the current research
Up till now the available literatures show a gap in knowledge and lack of well-designed studies We will concern on the effect of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation on Hyperhidrosis Severity on patients with primary Palmar Hyperhidrosis
