摘 要:Objective: To investigate whether thoracic sympathectomy induced any change i n the pattern of abnormalities or in the waveform of the sudomotor skin response (SSR) in patients with primary palmar hyperhidrosis (PPH). Methods: We recorded the SSR to median nerve electrical stimuli before and after bilateral thoracosc opic sympathectomy in 27 patients with PPH. We analyzed the changes in amplitude , type of waveform and pattern of abnormality. Results: All patients reported sy mptomatic improvement. The amplitude of the SSR decreased significantly in patie nts examined within 1 year after surgery, but was not different in patients exam ined after 1 year. The number of abnormally enhanced responses reduced after sur gery, but there was no significant change in the number of patients with enhance d excitability recovery or with double- peak responses to single stimuli. There was a significant increase in the number of SSRs with a predominantly negative waveform after surgery. Conclusions: The persistence of SSR abnormalities after surgery suggests that the central nervous system dysfunction is not modified by sympathectomy. The change of the waveform to predominantly negative type after s urgery could be the consequence of the decrease in the production of sweating. S ignificance: Our results show the effects of sympathectomy on the SSR and on its abnormal patterns in patients with PPH.Objective: To investigate whether thoracic sympathectomy induced any change i n the pattern of abnormalities or in the waveform of the sudomotor skin response (SSR) in patients with primary palmar hyperhidrosis (PPH).
