Conditions

Hyperhidrosis, Residual Limbs

Brief summary

The aim of this study is to demonstrate onabotulinumtoxinA superiority to aluminium chloride for the treatment of residual limb hyperhidrosis.

Detailed description

After randomization patients will receive either OnabotulinumtoxinA once or topical aluminium chloride for 6 months. All patients will be evaluated during 3 study visits (week 4, week 12, week 24) and 1 phone call (week 18).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Score (HDSS) evolution24 weeksHDSS score : min 1 - max. 4 * Efficacy : HDSS evolution from 2 (initial measure) to 1 (final measure), from 3 (initial measure) to 1 or 2 (final measure), from 4 (initial measure) to 1 or 2 (final measure) * Failure : from 2 (initial measure) to 2 (final measure), from 3 or 4 (initial measure) to 2 (final measure) ; or increase of HDSS between initial and final measure
