What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

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.
Measured: Baseline and 3 months post baseline

Primary outcome

Change in Sweating Assessed Using Gravimetry
Time frame: Baseline and 3 months post baseline
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.

Participant flow

Primary outcome: Change in Sweating Assessed Using Gravimetry

Time frame: Baseline and 3 months post baseline. Mean (Standard Deviation). Unit: mg

Measure	Nd:YAG 1440 nm Laser n = 4
Average Gravimetric Change (Left Side)	-104.50 (156.57)
Average Gravimetric Change (Right Side)	-90.85 (131.84)

Population analysed: 1 subject was incapable of attending the follow up visit, so their gravimetric measurement was not able to be obtained. They were able to answer other follow up questions via the phone, however.

Adverse events

Time frame: Adverse Events occurring were captured and followed throughout the study duration, approximately 3 months.. Other adverse events reported at 0% frequency or more
