Abstract:
Objective To evaluate clinical efficacy on treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis by botulinum toxin type A injection and to introduce a corresponding method evolved from Minor's starch iodine test with MATLAB analysis.Methods Ten patients were involved in the study and evaluated preoperatively by both Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale (HDSS) and Minor's starch iodine test with MATLAB analysis.All cases were treated with botulinum toxin type A injection dosed by 50 U on one side focally and evaluated postoperatively by both above mentioned methods with interval of 1 month and by HDSS only of 6 months.Results The clinical efficiency by the therapy evaluated by HDSS accounted for 100％ and 60％ postoperatively with intervals of 1 month and 6 months respectively.By the Minor's starch iodine test with MATLAB analysis,all patients showed no statistical difference between two matched sides preoperatively (P ＞ 0.05),while postoperatively statistical difference was observed between the treated side and the control (P＜0.05) and also between the treated group and zero control (P＜0.05).Conclusions The clinical efficacy of botulinum toxin type A injection in treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis is highlighted in short term.The evolved Minor's starch iodine test combined with MATLAB analysis serves as an alternative which facilitates operability and objectivity evaluating the therapy outcomes on hyperhidrosis.
