简要总结
the purpose of the present study is to assess the effect of laser acupoints on subjects with hyperhidrosis in comparison to tap water iontophoresis
详细描述
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.

Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale
时间窗: Change between baseline and 2 weeks of treatment measures
The Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale (HDSS) is a disease-specific, quick, and easily-understood diagnostic tool that provides a qualitative measure of the severity of the patient's condition based on how it affects daily activities. Ask the patient to select the statement above that best reflects his or her experience with sweating of the specified body area. Next to each statement is a number. A score of 3 or 4 indicates severe hyperhidrosis. A score of 1 or 2 indicates mild or moderate hyperhidrosis.
