Can a medicated cloth stop prosthetic sweating woes?
NCT ID NCT04924036
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested whether a medicated cloth (glycopyrronium) could reduce excessive sweating at the amputation site in 13 limb amputees. Participants used either the active cloth or a placebo for four weeks, then switched after a washout period. The goal was to see if less sweating would improve how well the prosthetic fits and feels.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
glycopyrronium cloths (Qbrexza)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple topical treatment to reduce sweating at amputation sites, helping prosthetics fit better and improving comfort.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 13 participants, so results may not apply widely. The treatment may not work for everyone, and side effects like skin irritation are possible.
