Monitoring the skin temperature changes of the palm during video endoscopic thoracic sympathicotomy has been used as a measure of the success of the surgery for palmar hyperhidrosis. So we measured palmar skin temperature on both sides after administration of herbal medicine to learn whether we can use it as a indicator of herbal medicine effect, and to see it's mechanism. Seven patients (15 to 19 years old) with palmar hyperhidrosis underwent administration of herbal medicine. The palmar skin temperature was measured by comparing the changes of skin temperature before and after administration of herbal medicine for palmar hyperhidrosis. After the administration, temperature of the left palm was elevated(before. 26.16±2.13℃ vs. after. 30.62±1.84℃, p<0.05), and temperature of the right palm was also elevated(before. 26.14±2.28℃ vs. after. 30.91 ±1.67℃, p<0.05). These results suggest that the administration of herbal medicine is not only the symptoms of hyperhidrosis abolished but also the skin temperature of palm is elevated.
