Hyperhidrosis Astringents reduce sweat production, especially aluminium chloride hexahydrate (20%) in ethyl alcohol (95%).Antimuscarinics (topical or systemic) may help and high local concentrations can be obtained with iontophoresis. Minimally invasive sympathectomy is occasionally necessary complications include compensatory hyperhidrosis elsewhere.Temporary remission (16 weeks) is achieved by injection of boiulinum toxin, most effectively in the axilla. Treatment better in theory than in practice the volume of sweat dilutes the topical application the characteristic smell is produced by bacterial action, so cosmetic deodorants contain antibacterials rather chan substances that reduce sweat production. 

FES-BPB System Specifications Minimally Invasive Procedure to Implant BPBs... 

An optimal FES system should have the following fundamental characteristics. It should (1) provide both stimulating and sensing capabilities, (2) be fuUy implantable, (3) be minimally invasive, (4) have real-time communication capability, (5) allow a practically unlimited number of stimulation and sensing channels, and (6) function without external equipment or interconnected leads between components.
