Summary

This study tested whether medicated cloths (glycopyrronium) could reduce excessive sweating at the amputation site in 13 people with limb loss. Participants used either the medicated cloth or a placebo for 4 weeks, then switched after a break. The goal was to see if less sweating helps the prosthetic fit better and work more comfortably.
