Change in Sweating Assessed Using Gravimetry
A gravimetry test was performed to determine the quantity of sweat produced, comparing the post-treatment to the baseline numbers. A pre-weighted filter paper was placed on the armpit, and then weighed afterwards to determine the quantity of sweat produced. To calculate the change between the baseline and 3 months post baselines, the values taken at these 2 time points are subtracted from each other. A negative value means that there has been a decrease in gravimetric weight since the baseline.
Time frame: Baseline and 3 months post baseline
