Background:

Idiopathic palmoplanter hyperhidrosis is a common condition causing excessive sweating of the palms and soles.
Effective and well-tolerated treatment options are sought for this condition.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the efficacy of Iontotherapy for treating idiopathic palmoplanter hyperhidrosis.
To determine the required frequency of maintenance therapy.

Main Methods:

Twenty-seven patients diagnosed with idiopathic palmoplanter hyperhidrosis participated.
Iontotherapy was administered over a one-year period.
Treatment response and maintenance therapy needs were recorded.

Main Results:

A significant positive response to Iontotherapy was observed in twenty-four out of twenty-seven patients.
The majority of responders required ongoing maintenance therapy every 3 to 4 weeks to sustain symptom control.

Conclusions:

Iontotherapy is a highly effective treatment for idiopathic palmoplanter hyperhidrosis.
Regular maintenance sessions are crucial for long-term management of the condition.
