Hyperhidrosis isn’t just about sweating.
It’s the visible sign of a deeper neurological disorder rooted in the Nav1.7 sodium channel.
A gain-of-function mutation in this protein makes nerves fire too easily, overactivating the sympathetic nervous system and creating a vicious loop of excessive sweating, visceral anxiety, and a variety of other symptoms. All current treatments only mask symptoms, never addressing the cause.
The real solution lies in directly targeting Nav1.7, likely through gene therapy, the only path to a true cure for the majority of hyperhidrosis patients.
