We established a large animal model to verify the effect of thoracic sympathetic stimulation. Electric stimulation can be used for sympathetic blockade, as confirmed by increased blood perfusion of the palm. Our work suggests that sympathetic stimulation is a potential solution for palmar hyperhidrosis.
