Botulinum Toxin Type A for Frontal Hyperhidrosis
Sponsor: Tishreen University
Summary
Frontal hyperhidrosis is a form of primary focal hyperhidrosis that significantly impairs patients' quality of life due to excessive visible sweating in the forehead region. Conventional treatment options often show limited efficacy or may be associated with undesirable side effects. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intradermal injections of Botulinum Toxin Type A in patients with primary frontal hyperhidrosis. Clinical outcomes will be assessed using Minor's iodine-starch test, the Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale (HDSS), and patient satisfaction scores. Participants will be followed up one month after treatment to evaluate therapeutic response and potential adverse effects.

Botulinum Toxin Type A
Botulinum toxin type A will be reconstituted with 5 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride solution to achieve a concentration of 20 units/mL. Intradermal injections of 2 units per injection point will be administered using a 30-gauge insulin needle. The affected frontal area will be mapped using Minor's iodine-starch test and divided into a grid of approximately 2.25 cm² squares with 1 cm spacing between injection points. The total dose will range from 40 to 80 units depending on the extent of the affected area.
