Detailed Description

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

The study will be randomized control trial pre and post-experimental design. Anonymity and confidentiality of all procedures will be assured in compliance with relevant laws and institutional guidelines. All patients will sign two copies of a consent form before the beginning of data collection. Subjects will be recruited using publicly distributed posters and by online social media, subjects their hyperhidrosis examined by Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale, Perceived Stress Scale. Recruited subjects will be randomly assigned to Laser Acupoint or Tap water iontophoresis groups. The participants and assessor will be blinded for the study hypothesis.

Laser Acupoint

Laser will be performed 3 times per week for 2-week measurement. The duration of each cession will be 10 minutes treatment.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Laser Acupoint

Intervention Type DEVICE

Step 1: The subject was in sitting position and exposure area for applying laser then therapist use tap measurement to find the point. Parameters was used in this study : PROBE :ML A1\\25 TIME:01:00 FREQUENCY: 10000Hz (25mw), DUTY-CYCLE:100% DENESITY: 1J\\CM2 AREA :1CM2 Step 2: Apply laser on acupuncture points by using 10000HZ for 1 minute for every point. Totally cession: 10 minutes Step 3: ensure that all point done Repeat all steps for every subject

Tap water iontophoresis

Tap water iontophoresis will be performed 3 times per week for 2-weeks. The duration of each cession will be 20 minutes treatment session.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Tap water iontophoresis

Intervention Type DEVICE

Enough tap water is placed in the pans, then the generator is plugged in and switched on. After that, the patient's hands are placed in the pans.

The treatment is administrated by slowly increased intensity to tell the patient to feel a tingling sensation or up to 20 milliamperes and continue with this polarity for 10 minutes. After that, the polarity reversed and intensity increased again to the desired level for another 10 minutes.
