Hyperhidrosis is characterized by unpredictable, uncontrollable and excessive sweating. It occurs at rest and is not related to temperature. Hyperhidrosis is a common disorder that has a negative impact on quality of life (QoL). The aim of this quality assurance study was to investigate how treatment of palmoplantar hyperhidrosis with botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) and botulinum toxin B (BTX-B) led to improvement of patient reported outcome measures related to QoL.
A total of 35 patients with palmar and/or plantar hyperhidrosis who had received BTX-A (Dysport) and BTX-B (NeuroBloc) for palmar hyperhidrosis and BTX-B for plantar hyperhidrosis were included in this study. In total, palms were injected with a median dose (low to high) of 400 (100-550) units BTX-A and a median dose (low to high) of 200 (200-500) units. BTX-B was used in the thenar and hypothenar areas to avoid muscle weakness. In the soles a total median dose (low to high) of 600 (475-1000) units BTX-B was injected.
At follow-up 2 weeks post-treatment, patients' Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) score improved from 13 to 2 (p < 0.001).
We found that BTX-A and BTX-B treatment for palmar hyperhidrosis and BTX-B treatment for plantar hyperhidrosis led to a substantial improvement of QoL.
多汗症的特点是出汗不可预测、无法控制且过多。它在休息时发生,与温度无关。多汗症是一种常见疾病,会对生活质量(QoL)产生负面影响。这项质量保证研究的目的是调查用A型肉毒杆菌毒素(BTX-A)和B型肉毒杆菌毒素(BTX-B)治疗掌跖多汗症如何改善与生活质量相关的患者报告结局指标。
本研究纳入了35例手掌和/或足底多汗症患者,他们接受了用于治疗手掌多汗症的BTX-A(Dysport)和BTX-B(NeuroBloc)以及用于治疗足底多汗症的BTX-B。总共向手掌注射了中位剂量(低至高)的400(100 - 550)单位BTX-A和中位剂量(低至高)的200(200 - 500)单位。在大鱼际和小鱼际区域使用BTX-B以避免肌肉无力。在足底总共注射了中位剂量(低至高)的600(475 - 1000)单位BTX-B。
在治疗后2周的随访中,患者的皮肤病生活质量指数(DLQI)评分从13分提高到2分(p < 0.001)。
我们发现,BTX-A和BTX-B治疗手掌多汗症以及BTX-B治疗足底多汗症可使生活质量得到显著改善。
