Dry hands | Confident handshakes | Holding hands | A firm grip
These are things that most people take for granted.
But if hands are clammy, slippery, or drippy, then everyday things become everyday embarrassment, anxiety, and worse. Want to help make a change?
Researchers are working to give people with palmar hyperhidrosis more options. But it starts with a clear understanding how we define and measure excessive sweating. If you experience extreme sweating on your hands, you may be able to help.
A descriptive, noninvasive study in Santa Barbara, CA is recruiting palmar hyperhidrosis patients now.
If you’re between the ages of 18 and 65, you experience excessive hand sweating, and you’re not pregnant or a nursing mom, you may qualify.
Call 805-450-0237 to find out.
This study will span approximately two weeks and will involve two relatively brief trips to a dermatologist. Compensation for your time and travel will be provided.
Some exclusions apply. For instance, in order to participate in this study you must not have had previous surgery or injections to address palmar sweating. If you have tried iontophoresis, your last session must have been at least 12 weeks prior to the study and you may not perform iontophoressis during the study. No topical sweating treatments may be applied to the hands within 30 days of the study or during the study. Those taking certain medications or with certain medical conditions may not be eligible so please discuss your medical history with the recruiters at 805-450-0237.
Anyone who experiences excessive, uncontrollable hand sweating (palmar hyperhidrosis) knows that our hands – as extensions of ourselves – drive our interactions with the world. Consider volunteering to improve our understanding of palmar sweating. It may help make a world of difference.
Help shape the future of hyperhidrosis research around the world with your very own hands.
