“…These findings were concordant with a recent study by Carvalho et al, in which they studied multiple risk factors associated with compensatory sweating in post thoracoscopic sympathectomy patients, concluding that PH arising from the axilla might influence the development of CH, especially in the thoracolumbar region. 14 In contrast, a study by Woo et al, found a significant correlation between age over 20 years and the development of CH (OR: 2.73). 15 CH after botulinum toxin treatment was reported in a very small number of studies.…”

Background Primary focal hyperhidrosis (PH) can be managed by a wide range of medical and surgical modalities. Compensatory hyperhidrosis (CH) is a well-documented complication of surgical treatment. We aimed to investigate the occurrence of compensatory hyperhidrosis (CH) in PH patients after nonsurgical treatment with botulinum toxin A (BTX- A) or iontophoresis. Methodology We carried out a unicentric prospective study on PH patients from King Abdullah University Hospital (KAUH) in Jordan. PH patients were evaluated after 1-month of nonsurgical treatment. Patients who developed CH were re-assessed after 3-6 months through a telephone-based interview. Results A total of 86 patients with PH who underwent nonsurgical treatment with iontophoresis or botulinum toxin were recruited. Twenty-four (27.9%) patients developed subjective CH. It was mild in (75%), moderate in (21%), and severe in (4%) of patients affected, it was self-limiting within a few months in all patients. Patients with CH did not differ significantly in demographic or clinical variables from patients who did not develop CH except at the site of PH (p value = .05). Conclusion The findings of this study indicate that more than quarter (27.9%) of patients with PH may develop minor compensatory sweating, however this didn’t affect satisfaction with treatment.

“…The location of sweating is important, as it has been shown to be a risk factor for CH. Carvalho et al found that axillary hyperhidrosis appears to be associated with the development of dorsolumbar CH [ 20 ]. This could partially explain the high incidence of CH in our study, where axillary hyperhidrosis was among the most common locations.…”

Objective: This study aimed to characterize patients, describe surgical complications, and evaluate the pre- and postoperative quality of life (QOL) of individuals who underwent surgery for primary hyperhidrosis (PHH). Methods: A prospective, non-randomized, uncontrolled study was conducted, documenting cases of patients undergoing surgery for PHH at a reference center in La Habana, Cuba, from January 2016 to December 2022. Results: A total of 49 cases were described, with a median age of 16 years; 59.1% were female. The most common presentation was palmar-plantar-axillary, observed in 53% of cases. The palmar presentation was more frequent in female patients (p<0.05). Within 24 hours post-procedure, 85.7% of patients showed dryness in the palmar and axillary areas, with surgical complications occurring in 14.3% of cases (intercostal neuritis, pneumothorax, and hemothorax). CH of some form was recorded in 89.8% of cases. At least 30 days after the surgery, 95.9% of the patients reported a significant improvement in their QOL. Conclusion: Thoracic sympathectomy is an efficient and safe method for treating hyperhidrosis in adolescents, leading to an enhanced QOL. However, this study reported a higher incidence of complications, particularly CH, compared to previous national and international studies.
