Wearable Sensor Technology for Hyperhidrosis Management in Individuals With Prosthetic Limbs: A Narrative Review.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Wearable sensor technologies offer a cutting-edge solution for managing hyperhidrosis in individuals with prosthetic limbs, directly addressing the complex challenges posed by excessive sweating at the prosthetic-skin interface. Excessive moisture can lead to skin breakdown, increased risk of infections, and compromised prosthetic fit, all of which reduce functionality and user comfort. Advanced biosensors embedded within the system continuously monitor moisture levels and skin temperature in real time, providing precise data on sweat production and skin conditions. This data is relayed to mobile health platforms, allowing users and clinicians to make informed, immediate adjustments, such as modifying prosthetic materials, adjusting fit, or activating integrated cooling mechanisms to mitigate complications. Integrating real-time feedback into the device's function offers a personalized, noninvasive approach, enhancing both comfort and long-term prosthetic performance while surpassing traditional hyperhidrosis treatments like systemic medications, topical therapies, or invasive interventions such as botulinum toxin injections. However, limitations such as sensor calibration issues in fluctuating environmental conditions, sensor durability, and ensuring user compliance remain challenges. Future advancements may incorporate machine learning algorithms to predict and preempt hyperhidrosis episodes, offering even more precise control and adaptability. With the potential for seamless integration into telemedicine platforms, wearable sensor technologies have the potential to revolutionize the management of hyperhidrosis for prosthetic users, offering a personalized, real-time solution that addresses both medical and functional challenges.
