Hyperhidrosis and Botulinum toxins Botulinum toxins (BT) are bacterial exotoxins produced by Clostridium botulinum that cause botulism, a form of food poisoning occurring after ingestion of contaminated food. They are extremely toxic and considered possibly the most poisonous substances known to man. Of the seven immunological BT variants, primarily botulinum toxin A (BT-A) is of clinical and pharmacological importance. BT-A specifically inhibits acetyl-choline-dependent neuromuscular transmission and is used by ophthalmologists and neurologists for the relaxation of spastic or dystonic muscles. In dermatology, BT-A has recently received attention as a potent treatment modality for circumscribed hyperhidrosis, as it also blocks cholinergic sympathic innervation of sweat glands. One week after BT-A injection: axillary anhidrosis on the treated side, hyperhidrosis still present on the untreated side (iodine-starch test) There were no side effects, and the treatment was well tolerated. A transient burning sensation of the skin was reported during the BT-A injection. The results of therapy were described by the patients without exception as "completely satisfactory". They all wanted to have the same treatment administered to the previously untreated axilla. BT-A may be a fast, safe and highly effective therapeutic option for severe AH. However, world-wide approval of its use in dermatology has not as yet been granted. Therefore, BT-A may only be used for trial therapies that are the doctor's own responsibility.

PubMed Citation ABSTRACT Background Treatment of primary focal hyperhidrosis is often unsatisfactory. Botulinum toxin A can stop excessive sweating by blocking the release of acetylcholine, which mediates sympathetic neurotransmission in the sweat glands. Methods We conducted a multicenter trial of botulinum toxin A in 145 patients with axillary hyperhidrosis. The patients had rates of sweat production greater than 50 mg per minute and had had primary axillary hyperhidrosis that was unresponsive to topical therapy with aluminum chloride for more than one year. In each patient, botulinum toxin A (200 U) was injected into one axilla, and placebo was injected into the other in a randomized, double-blind manner. (The units of the botulinum

PDF Version Search Send-to-Friend Health Library Home ... Men's Health Hyperhidrosis: The Sweating Disease by Laurie Brown, M.S. The sweating disease. That's what we called it, my friends and I. We had to make a joke of it, or my friend would have cried when she sweat through her shirts while sitting in air-conditioned rooms. Hyperhidrosis is a condition where your body produces more perspiration than is needed to cool the body and maintain appropriate body temperature. For sufferers this means profuse sweating even in cool temperatures and without physical exertion. How many people suffer from hyperhidrosis? "I don't think there are any hard statistics on the incidence [of hyperhidrosis]. I would estimate that it is something like 1 per 1000 people or so," says Richard Glogau, M.D., a clinical professor of dermatology at the University of California, San Francisco who specializes in treating hyperhidrosis. Snapshots of Hyperhidrosis We're at a college football game on a comfortable September day. It is sunny and warm, but not hot. As we cheer for a great pass and an acrobatic reception, I lean over to my friend and whisper, "Um, you're sweating a lot again." I'm trying to help her avoid the embarrassment of anyone else seeing the grapefruit-sized sweat stains on the armpits of her green t-shirt. So she sits quietly with her arms at her sides, afraid to even wave to friends who pass by. While teaching a workshop at a client site, I notice (as did everyone else in the room) that one of my co-presenters was sweating profusely from the armpits and even on the middle of his back. I returned to the office after the trip to learn that the client was upset that he had been sweating. They felt it was "unprofessional."
