Targeting Nociceptors in Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Drug
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
This study will build on data from mice and humans implicating TRPV1 nociceptors in the pathogenesis of the type-17 chronic inflammatory skin disease Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS). In this study, the investigators will test the hypothesis that inhibiting neuropeptide activity with botulinum toxin reduces pathogenic inflammation.
