About this trial

Frontal hyperhidrosis is a form of primary focal hyperhidrosis that significantly impairs patients' quality of life due to excessive visible sweating in the forehead region. Conventional treatment options often show limited efficacy or may be associated with undesirable side effects.

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intradermal injections of Botulinum Toxin Type A in patients with primary frontal hyperhidrosis. Clinical outcomes will be assessed using Minor's iodine-starch test, the Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale (HDSS), and patient satisfaction scores. Participants will be followed up one month after treatment to evaluate therapeutic response and potential adverse effects.
