Summary
This study analyzed top hyperhidrosis research, finding a focus on treatments and quality of life. Future research should prioritize minimally invasive options and patient outcomes for excessive sweating.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Bibliometrics
- Medical Research Trends
Background:
- Hyperhidrosis is a chronic skin condition impacting quality of life.
- Limited bibliometric analyses exist despite recent research expansion.
- Understanding publication trends is crucial for guiding future research.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a bibliometric analysis of the 100 most-cited articles on hyperhidrosis.
- To assess research priorities and publication trends from 2015 to 2025.
- To identify areas for future research and clinical practice improvement.
Main Methods:
- Scopus database search for hyperhidrosis-related terms.
- Inclusion of 100 most-cited articles published between 2015-2025.
- Analysis of publication year, authorship, country, study design, journal, topic, and evidence level (LoE).
Main Results:
- Most highly cited articles (76%) were published between 2015-2019.
- Top study designs included randomized controlled trials (20%), cohort studies (18%), and case-control studies (16%).
- Research focused on treatments (55%), quality of life (12%), and outcome measures (11%); USA led publications.
Conclusions:
- Research priorities are shifting towards minimally invasive treatments.
- Patient-centered outcomes are increasingly important in hyperhidrosis research.
- Findings offer direction for future research and clinical practice enhancement.

Though evaporation from plant leaves drives transpiration, it also results in loss of water. Because water is critical for photosynthetic reactions and other cellular processes, evolutionary pressures on plants in different environments have driven the acquisition of adaptations that reduce water loss.
