Introduction:
pain
Severe dermal pain triggered by sweating stimuli, such as bathing, exercise, and mental stress, significantly affects patients’ daily lives. The pathomechanism underlying the sweating-induced dermal pain remains poorly understood and there exists no standard treatment for such pain. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of icatibant as an analgesic, a bradykinin B2 receptor antagonist, in treating sweating-induced dermal pain, and to establish the role of bradykinin in pain induction.
