Study summary

The aim of this study is to demonstrate onabotulinumtoxinA superiority to aluminium chloride for the treatment of residual limb hyperhidrosis.

Read the detailed description

After randomization patients will receive either OnabotulinumtoxinA once or topical aluminium chloride for 6 months. All patients will be evaluated during 3 study visits (week 4, week 12, week 24) and 1 phone call (week 18).

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Score (HDSS) evolution

    HDSS score : min 1 - max. 4 * Efficacy : HDSS evolution from 2 (initial measure) to 1 (final measure), from 3 (initial measure) to 1 or 2 (final measure), from 4 (initial measure) to 1 or 2 (final measure) * Failure : from 2 (initial measure) to 2 (final measure), from 3 or 4 (initial measure) to 2 (final measure) ; or increase of HDSS between initial and final measure

    Time frame: 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Mismatch of prothesis associated with sweat measured by a visual analogue scale

    Visual analogue scale (VAS) using 100mm scale. VAS range from 0 to 100mm. Efficacy is considered if \> 50% increase between initial and final measure

    Time frame: 3 years

  2. Problems with walking due to sweat measured by a visual analogue scale

    Visual analogue scale (VAS) using 100mm scale. VAS range from 0 to 100mm. Efficacy is considered if \> 50% increase between initial and final measure

    Time frame: 3 years

  3. Sweat quantity measured by a visual analogue scale

    Visual analogue scale (VAS) using 100mm scale. VAS range from 0 to 100mm. Efficacy is considered if \> 50% increase between initial and final measure

    Time frame: 3 years

  4. Quality of life measured by a visual analogue scale

    Visual analogue scale (VAS) using 100mm scale. VAS range from 0 to 100mm. Efficacy is considered if \> 50% increase between initial and final measure

    Time frame: 3 years

  5. Amount of time spent wearing the prothesis

    Amount of time spent wearing the prosthesis (hours per day): efficacy if increase

    Time frame: 3 years

  6. Prothesis removed to dry the residual limb

    Number of times the prosthesis had to be removed to dry the residual limb and sleeve per day: efficacy if no need to remove it or only once a day

    Time frame: 3 years

  7. Quality of life(DLQI)

    DLQI quality of life questionnaire : efficacy if increase

    Time frame: 3 years

  8. Quality of life (physical domain of SF36)

    SF36 "limitations due to physical state" specific domain : efficacy if increase

    Time frame: 3 years

  9. Quality of life (subjective improvement felt)

    Subjective Improvement Felt (SIF) (based on a percentage scale) :efficacy if\>50% increase

    Time frame: 3 years
