More Opportunities for Teens to Get Botox Treatment

(March/April 2006) Now there are even more opportunities for teens with hyperhidrosis to participate in clinical research and get Botox treatment! Clinical Trials currently being conducted in the U.S. and Canada are making Botox treatment accessible to thousands of teens. Visit the Clinical Trials database on SweatHelp.org and find out how to contact one of the 14 physicians who is actively seeking teenage hyperhidrosis patients to participate in Botox research. Information about new study sites in Illinois, Oregon, and Canada was recently added.

Clinical trials are medical research studies carried out under very strict guidelines. Clinical trials (also called clinical studies) are the building blocks of scientific progress. Researchers, physicians and other healthcare professionals rely on such studies for scientifically sound information regarding treatment safety and efficacy.

If you or your child is between the ages of 12 and 17 and experiences excessive sweating under the arms, one of these clinical trials may be the answer you’ve been looking for. The studies are looking at the safety and efficacy of Botox treatment for teens with hyperhidrosis. Botox has already been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as safe and effective treatment for underarm excessive sweating in adults. Eligible participants will receive Botox treatment for their excessive sweating for 52 weeks! If you (or your doctor) thought Botox was right for you or your child but that it was too expensive, think again!

The Clinical Trials database on SweatHelp.org now lists opportunities in: Miami Beach, Florida; Goodlettsville and Nashville, Tennessee; Norfolk, Virginia; Rochester, New York; Chicago, Illinois; St. Louis, Missouri; Portland, Oregon; and Laval, St. Johns, and Moncton, Canada.
