Abstract
Objective
To explore the therapeutic effect of different doses of botulinum toxin A injections on bromhidrosis.
Methods
A total of 200 cases were divided into mild-to-moderate group (N=100) and severe group (N=100) based on the grade of bromhidrosis, and each group was further divided into two groups: low dose group (50 cases) were treated by botulinum toxin A injections (100 U) and high dose group (50 cases) were treated with 200 U for bilateral axillary. The total effective rate and recurrence rate in both groups were compared.
Results
In the mild to moderate group, after treatment for 3 months, the total effective rate of both groups had no statistical difference (P>0.05), and the same with recurrence rate in 6 months follow-up (P>0.05). In the severe group, after treatment for 3 months, the total effective rate of the high dose group (82%) was significantly higher than that of the low dose group (64%), with statistical significance (χ2=4.110, P<0.05). After 6 months follow-up, recurrence rate in the high dose group (22%) was significantly lower than that of the low dose group(46%), with statistical significance (χ2=6.417, P<0.05).
Conclusions
A suitable dose of botulinum toxin A can be selected based on the severity of bromhidrosis, which is a individualized therapy for cost savings and might have potential benefits for patients with osmidrosis.
