Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Evaluate the long term efficacy and side effects of oxybutynin in the treatment of hyperhidrosis.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This retrospective study aims to evaluate the medical charts of patients who were treated with oxybutynin for at least six months for primary hyperhidrosis. The investigators variables of interest are: (1) quality of life before pharmacological therapy and after six weeks, (2)self-perception of improvement in hyperhidrosis after six weeks of treatment and on last visit (whenever this occur, as long as this happens after six months), (3) side effects related to drug use.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Axillary hyperhidrosis

Patients whose major complaint is excessive sweating in the axillary region (i.e, sweating in the armpit). Patients that also have hyperhidrosis - but that are less bothersome on other sites (e.g., palmar hyperhidrosis) are not excluded, but are accounted for accordingly to their main complaint.

Oxybutynin

Intervention Type DRUG

All patients are treated with oxybutynin for hyperhidrosis. Usual maintenance dose is 10mg/day, but dose may vary according to weight, efficacy and side effects. Our standard protocol starts with 2.5mg/day in the first 7 days, progresses to 5mg/day for 14 days and then reaches the usual maintenance dose of 10mg/day afterwards.

Palmar hyperhidrosis

Patients whose major complaint is excessive sweating in the palmar region (i.e, sweating in the hands). Patients that also have hyperhidrosis - but that are less bothersome on other sites (e.g., axillary hyperhidrosis) are not excluded, but are accounted for accordingly to their main complaint.

Oxybutynin

Intervention Type DRUG

All patients are treated with oxybutynin for hyperhidrosis. Usual maintenance dose is 10mg/day, but dose may vary according to weight, efficacy and side effects. Our standard protocol starts with 2.5mg/day in the first 7 days, progresses to 5mg/day for 14 days and then reaches the usual maintenance dose of 10mg/day afterwards.

Plantar hyperhidrosis

Patients whose major complaint is excessive sweating in the plantar region (i.e, sweating in the feet). Patients that also have hyperhidrosis - but that are less bothersome on other sites (e.g., axillary hyperhidrosis) are not excluded, but are accounted for accordingly to their main complaint.

Oxybutynin

Intervention Type DRUG

All patients are treated with oxybutynin for hyperhidrosis. Usual maintenance dose is 10mg/day, but dose may vary according to weight, efficacy and side effects. Our standard protocol starts with 2.5mg/day in the first 7 days, progresses to 5mg/day for 14 days and then reaches the usual maintenance dose of 10mg/day afterwards.

Cranio-facial hyperhidrosis

Patients whose major complaint is excessive sweating in the cranio-facial region (i.e, sweating in the face). Patients that also have hyperhidrosis - but that are less bothersome on other sites (e.g., axillary hyperhidrosis) are not excluded, but are accounted for accordingly to their main complaint.

Oxybutynin

Intervention Type DRUG

All patients are treated with oxybutynin for hyperhidrosis. Usual maintenance dose is 10mg/day, but dose may vary according to weight, efficacy and side effects. Our standard protocol starts with 2.5mg/day in the first 7 days, progresses to 5mg/day for 14 days and then reaches the usual maintenance dose of 10mg/day afterwards.

Other sites hyperhidrosis

Patients whose major complaint is excessive sweating in other sites of the body (e.g., on the chest, on the abdomen). Patients that also have hyperhidrosis - but that are less bothersome on other sites previously grouped (e.g., axillary hyperhidrosis) are not excluded, but are accounted for accordingly to their main complaint.
