Abstract

A new device for the treatment of hyperhidrosis by iontophoresis is described. Twenty-five patients have so far been treated, six with hyperhidrosis of the palms, 13 with hyperhidrosis of the soles and six with axillary hyperhidrosis. In 21 cases there was an excellent result. The effect of the treatment usually lasted for several weeks. Maintenance treatment every 4-6 weeks was found to be required.
