- Abstract
The article presents a study on the quality of life (QoL) of patients after limited endoscopic thoracic sympathetic block at T4 for upper limb hyperhidrosis. T4 is a hormone secreted by the thyroid gland which regulates metabolism. The researchers found that endoscopic sympathetic block at T4 contributes an improved QoL among palmar hyperhidrosis patients.
