Evaluation of treatment and recommendations

There are many different types of studies for BoNT treatment of palmar and plantar HH. The placebo-controlled evidence for palmar HH is reviewed in Table 2. There is one single-agent study each for A/Abo,22 A/Ona,23 and B/Rima.25 These studies are small and of short duration; however, they do confirm the effectiveness of these products. This allows the conclusion that the evidence supports a Level B recommendation for BoNT-A and a Level C recommendation for BoNT-B for the treatment of palmar HH.3,27 On further examination of the evidence one can conclude that there are insufficient data for the individual formulations, so each receives a Level U recommendation. The side effects were in the order of what is expected and are covered in more detail in the complications section.
