prednisone and Anhidrosis

prednisone has been researched along with Anhidrosis in 4 studies

Prednisone: A synthetic anti-inflammatory glucocorticoid derived from CORTISONE. It is biologically inert and converted to PREDNISOLONE in the liver.
prednisone : A synthetic glucocorticoid drug that is particularly effective as an immunosuppressant, and affects virtually all of the immune system. Prednisone is a prodrug that is converted by the liver into prednisolone (a beta-hydroxy group instead of the oxo group at position 11), which is the active drug and also a steroid.

Trial Outcomes

Change in Systolic Blood Pressure During 60° Tilt (ΔSBP)

The primary outcome, the change in systolic blood pressure during 60 degree tilt (ΔSBP), will be assessed in all study participants at baseline and at 6 weeks. (NCT01522235)
Timeframe: Baseline and 6 weeks

InterventionmmHg (Mean)
IVIg Group42.5
Placebo Group-12.3

Change in Systolic Blood Pressure During 60° Tilt (ΔSBP)

To compare the change in systolic blood pressure during 60 degree head up tilt table test after 6 and 12 weeks of IVIG (the within-patient difference in ΔSBP at 12 and 6 weeks among treated patients). (NCT01522235)
Timeframe: 6 weeks and 12 weeks

Composite Autonomic Severity Score (CASS) Questionnaire.

"To determine the change in autonomic symptoms (measured by the composite autonomic severity score [CASS]) measured at baseline and 6 weeks in individuals receiving IVIg.~Is a 10-point composite autonomic scoring scale of autonomic function. This scale allots 4 points for adrenergic and 3 points each for sudomotor and cardiovagal failure. Subjects with a score of 3 or less on have a mild autonomic failure, 4-6 have moderate autonomic failure and those with scores of 7 to 10 have severe failure. The minimum score possible is 3 and maximum is 10." (NCT01522235)
Timeframe: Baseline, 6 weeks

Composite Autonomic Symptom Score [COMPASS] Questionnaire

To determine the change in autonomic symptoms (measured by the composite autonomic symptom score [COMPASS] questionnaire) measured at baseline and 6 weeks. Minimum and maximum score possible: 0-100. We have reported the Total score. Higher values represent worse outcome. (NCT01522235)
Timeframe: Baseline, 6 weeks

EuroQol [EQ-5D] Questionnaire.

"To determine the change in quality of life (measured by the EuroQol [EQ-5D]) measured at baseline and 6 weeks in individuals receiving IVIg. We have reported the subscale (EQ-VAS). The minimum score is 0 and maximum score is 100. (0) corresponds to the worst health you can imagine, and the highest rate (100) corresponds to the best health you can imagine." (NCT01522235)
Timeframe: Baseline, 6 weeks

Orthostatic Hypotension Symptom Assessment Questionnaire

"To determine the change in orthostatic Hypotension symptom (measured by the orthostatic hypotension symptom assessment questionnaire) measured at baseline and 6 weeks in individuals receiving IVIG. This is a 60 point orthostatic hypotenstion symptom assessment questionnaire. The minimum score possible is 0 and maximum is 60.~Higher values represent worse outcome. We are reporting the total score." (NCT01522235)
