The mechanism of tap water iontophoresis
Summary of the study: The mechanism of tap water iontophoresis: a functional disturbance of the secretory epithelium Despite decades of positive results with tap water iontophoresis for the treatment of hyperhidrosis, the exact mechanism is still unclear. The aim of the study was to review the hitherto common hypothesis of a mechanical closure of the […]
Positive effects on healing time and freedom from recurrence in hand-foot eczemas (PDF / DE 1998)
Summary of the study: Treating hyperhidrosis using tap water iontophoresis: positive effects on healing time and freedom from recurrence in hand-foot eczema Excessive sweating caused by hyperhidrosis of the hands and feet can severely restrict the lives of affected patients. This lends this phenomenon its own disease character. Morbid sweating is also discussed as a […]
Pulsed DC iontophoresis as a new treatment option for hyperhidrosis (PDF / DE 1995)
Pulsed DC iontophoresis as a new treatment option for hyperhidrosis Tap water iontophoresis with direct current has become the treatment of choice for excessive sweating of the hands or feet due to its high success rate (98%). Because of such side effects as discomfort and issues such as shocks that sometimes occur with direct current […]
Long-Term Efficacy and Side Effects of Tap Water Iontophoresis of Palmoplantar Hyperhidrosis – the Usefulness of Home Therapy (PDF / EN 1987)
Summary of the study: Long-Term Efficacy and Side Effects of Tap Water Iontophoresis of Palmoplantar Hyperhidrosis This study had 3 goals: To demonstrate the effectiveness of tap water iontophoresis by quantitative measurements, to show possible long-term side effects, and to test the practical benefits of a HIDREX home treatment device. To answer the research questions, […]
Modification and optimisation of tap water iontophoresis (PDF / DE 1994)
Modification and optimisation of tap water iontophoresis The aim of this study was to develop an optimal regimen for the treatment of hyperhidrosis of the hands or feet using tap water iontophoresis. For this purpose, the polarity of the direct current, the duration of a treatment session, the effect of electrolyte additions, and the frequency […]

AC and pulse current iontophoresis: a new approach to the treatment of hyperhidrosis (PDF / EN 1993)
Summary of the study: AC and pulse current iontophoresis: a new approach to the treatment of hyperhidrosis For the treatment of hyperhidrosis of the hands or feet, iontophoresis treatment with direct current (DC) is the most effective treatment. The positive effect has been proven in several studies. However, treatment with DC does come with some […]
Ross syndrome: treatment of segmental compensatory hyperhidrosis with a modified iontophoresis device
Ross syndrome is a neurological disease of the skin characterised by the simultaneous occurrence of decreased or absent sweat secretion (hypohidrosis), tonic pupil contraction, and attenuated […]
