Nerve block or pills? study tackles sweaty palm relief
NCT ID NCT06731101
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compared two treatments for palmar hyperhidrosis (excessive palm sweating): a stellate ganglion block (an injection near neck nerves) versus a combination of oral anticholinergic and antidepressant drugs. Forty-six adults aged 20-45 with primary palmar hyperhidrosis took part. The goal was to see which approach better reduces sweating and whether side effects like increased sweating elsewhere occur.
