Hiperidrose primária - revisão integrativa: atualizações clínicas e impactos na qualidade de vida

Abstract

Primary hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by excessive sweating without an apparent cause and disproportionate to the physiological need for thermal regulation. Although it does not pose an immediate risk to physical health, this condition significantly compromises patients' quality of life, affecting their emotional well-being, interpersonal relationships, and professional performance. This review aimed to gather and analyze scientific evidence regarding the etiology, diagnosis, available treatments, and quality of life impacts related to primary hyperhidrosis. The research was conducted through an integrative literature review using the PubMed and Scopus databases, covering the period from 2015 to 2025. After screening and analysis, 20 articles met the inclusion criteria and were grouped into four thematic axes: etiology, diagnosis, treatment, and quality of life. It is concluded that primary hyperhidrosis has a substantial psychosocial impact and that proper management should address not only symptom control but also provide emotional and informational support to patients.
