Hyperhidrosis significantly impacts patient's quality of life, especially in cases of generalized hyperhidrosis. In this open trial, a refractory case of generalized hyperhidrosis was treated with cannabinoids, resulting in a remarkable reduction in sweat volume and improvement in the patient's quality of life.
Hyperhidrosis can significantly curtail patient quality of life, from debilitating physical symptoms to social stigmatization and reduced life opportunities. Current treatments often prove unsatisfactory, especially in sufferers of generalized hyperhidrosis. In this open trial, we present the case of a refractory generalized hyperhidrosis treated with cannabinoids. We found a remarkable reduction in the volume of sweat and an improvement to the patient's quality of life using this novel low-cost and low-impact approach.
