Brief Summary

To evaluate the gravimetric sweat measurements in subjects who meet the subjective criteria for a diagnosis of palmar hyperhidrosis compared to subjects without hyperhidrosis.

Detailed Description

This is a Non-Interventional Study To Assess Sweating, As Measured By Gravimetry, In Subjects With Primary Hyperhidrosis And In Healthy Individuals .

The objective of this study is to determine the threshold gravimetric measurement for subjects with palmar hyperhidrosis.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Comparison of Mean Average (Standard Deviation) Total Palmar Gravimetric Sweat Production (GMSP) Between Subject Groups (Adult Patients With Hyperhidrosis Versus Healthy Adult Volunteers).Gravimetric assessments were conducted in a temperature controlled room on two separate occasions over a five minute period (two assessments/palm), assessing both palms.

Gravimetric assessments were conducted in a temperature controlled room on two separate occasions over a five minute period (two assessments/palm), assessing both palms. An individual palm GMSP was determined by subtracting the Weight (g) of individual gauze in contact with palm after five minutes - Weight (g) of individual gauze prior to palmar contact. For this analysis, each participant could provide two results (1 Total GMSP/occasion) as:

Total GMSP 1 \[g\] = Right palm GMSP 1 \[g\] + Left palm GMSP 1 \[g\] Total GMSP 2 \[g\] = Right palm GMSP 2 \[g\] + Left Palm GMSP 2 \[g\] Mean average \[g\] (standard deviation) Total GMSPs were compared between Subject Groups (adult patients with hyperhidrosis versus healthy adult volunteers).
